Hi @mastergog, thank you for reaching out to us. I can reproduce your problem and this would have not been something which we would have expected. If you go significantly over one million segments (1.1 million still works for me for example) no matter if in one node or scattered over multiple nodes, the viewport will freeze. It is a bit hard to assess for us at the moment if this a bug or just a limitation of our viewport API. We will investigate the problem and I will report back here if there are going to be any short or mid-term fixes for that (or not if this is a limitation). For now there is unfortunately nothing you can do, since spreading out the segments over multiple nodes won't help you. Sorry for the inconvenience and cheers, Ferdinand

@WickedP yes you can assume it. Cinema 4D first loads all dlls, then PluginMessage is forwarded to each dlls.

Thanks @C4DS, that's what I'm after! WP.

@Yaroslav If you are simply looking for a way to manipulate vertex normals there is a great plugin out there: http://frostsoft.blogspot.com/2012/01/vertex-normal-tool-plugin_80.html?m=1

Hi, you have two function to retrieve the BaseContainer from an object and a container inside a BaseContainer. You can either retrieve a pointer or a reference. All function retrieve a pointer to the data and the references are just returning a dereference's pointer. To retrieve the data from the object you have GetDataInstance and GetDataInstanceRef and to retrieve a BaseContainer inside another one you have GetContainer and GetContainerInstance. Neither of them return a copy. About the issue, there's no issue as long as the object exist in memory. Depending of the context (specially if you are using threads) this can be more or less safe. Cheers, Manuel

hi @Boony2000 , these are Visual Studio Intellisense errors which you can safely ignore. If they bother you switch the filter from "Build + Intellisense" to "Build". Cheers, R

@blastframe said in Updating F-Curves in Timeline on EditSlider Drag: What's c4d.EVMSG_FCURVECHANGE for then? After a quick check (sorry, I should have checked yesterday for a more complete answer) literally nothing. It's used nowhere. Cheers, Manuel

@ferdinand Thank you for this; it makes things much clearer. I am very grateful we have the forum to clarify these issues.

Hi @blastframe, thank you for reaching out to us and for reporting these errors in the documentation. We will fix both the erroneously attributed short description of AddKey as well as the code example in an upcoming update of the C4D SDK Python docs. Cheers and happy coding, Ferdinand

Hi, @m_adam, thanks for the effort. I suspected it will not be possible without a custom GUI/data implementation - I guess I will go with this approach. Cheers, Deyan

@PluginStudent Thank you so much! It worked! Yaroslav.

Hi @blastframe, the Python documentation will be updated in this regard with the release of R24. If you do not have any questions left related to the initial topic we would ask you to mark this topic as solved. Cheers, Ferdinand

Hi @Hugo-BATTISTELLA , without further questions or feedback, we will consider this thread as solved by Monday and flag it accordingly. Cheers, Ferdinand

@zipit Thank you for the information.

All right, thank you for all the help. I'll close this now.

hi, sorry, but with the classic API it's not possible. Cheers, Manuel

Thanks for the effort Maxime (and rendering department). I suspected that it won't be possible, but still asked because I thought I might have missed something. Cheers, Deyan

Hi @WickedP, Secondly, I can't seem to mark any topics of mine as solved. Has this changed? that is because you haven't set your topic as "ask-as-question" in the first place So there is nothing to resolve here. Cheers, Ferdinand
