Detailed Description

A specialized data class for creating modeling tool plugins.
Implements InitDefaultSettings, GetDDescription, GetDEnabling and Message to support stuff like Transform/Apply. Be sure to call the parent versions if these functions are overridden.
Use RegisterToolPlugin() to register a description tool plugin.

Member Function Documentation

◆ InitTool()

virtual Bool InitTool	(	BaseDocument *	doc,
		BaseContainer &	data,
		BaseThread *	bt
	)

virtual

Called each time the tool is selected.

Parameters

[in]	doc	The active document. Cinema 4D owns the pointed document.
[in]	data	The tool settings container.
[in]	bt	The calling thread. Can be nullptr. Cinema 4D owns the pointed thread.

Returns: true if successful, otherwise false.

Reimplemented from ToolData.

Reimplemented in SculptBrushToolData, and BrushToolData.

◆ FreeTool()

virtual void FreeTool	(	BaseDocument *	doc,
		BaseContainer &	data
	)

virtual

Called each time the user chooses another tool.

Parameters

[in]	doc	The active document. Cinema 4D owns the pointed document.
[in]	data	The tool settings container.

Reimplemented from ToolData.

Reimplemented in SculptBrushToolData, and BrushToolData.

◆ GetDDescription()

virtual Bool GetDDescription	(	BaseDocument *	doc,
		BaseContainer &	data,
		Description *	description,
		DESCFLAGS_DESC &	flags
	)

virtual

Called to add parameters to the description for the tool.
Modify the passed description as needed, set the appropriate flags and then make sure to include a call to the parent at the end:

return SUPER::GetDescription(data, description, flags, parentdescription);

flags

PyCompilerFlags * flags

Definition: ast.h:14

Parameters

[in]	doc	The active document. Cinema 4D owns the pointed document.
[in]	data	The tool settings container.
[in,out]	description	The node's description to add the parameters to. Cinema 4D owns the pointed description.
[in,out]	flags	The flags for the description operation: DESCFLAGS_DESC

Returns: true if successful, otherwise false. It is recommended to include a call to the parent function as last return.

Reimplemented from ToolData.

Reimplemented in SculptBrushToolData, and BrushToolData.

◆ GetDEnabling()

virtual Bool GetDEnabling	(	BaseDocument *	doc,
		BaseContainer &	data,
		const DescID &	id,
		const GeData &	t_data,
		DESCFLAGS_ENABLE	flags,
		const BaseContainer *	itemdesc
	)

virtual

Called to decide which description parameters should be enabled or disabled.
Can be used both for parameters that are stored in the tool's description and for dynamic parameters.
Read the passed t_data if the right id was provided, and return true to enable the parameter or false to disable it. Then make sure to include a call to the parent at the end:

return SUPER::GetDEnabling(data, id, t_data, flags, itemdesc);

Parameters

[in]	doc	The active document. Cinema 4D owns the pointed document.
[in]	data	The tool settings container.
[in]	id	The ID of the parameter.
[in]	t_data	The parameter data. Cinema 4D owns the pointed data.
[in]	flags	Not used.
[in]	itemdesc	The parameter's description, encoded to a container as described in Description.

Returns: true if the parameter should be enabled, otherwise false. It is recommended to include a call to the parent function as last return.

Reimplemented from ToolData.

Reimplemented in SculptBrushToolData, and BrushToolData.

◆ TranslateDescID()

virtual Bool TranslateDescID	(	BaseDocument *	doc,
		BaseContainer &	data,
		const DescID &	id,
		DescID &	res_id,
		C4DAtom *&	res_at
	)

virtual

Called by the Attribute Manager for every object and every description ID.
Gives the opportunity to route a description ID in the description of a tool to another one.

Parameters

[in]	doc	The active document. Cinema 4D owns the pointed document.
[in]	data	The tool settings container.
[in]	id	The source description ID.
[out]	res_id	Assign the target description ID.
[out]	res_at	Assign the target object.

Returns: true if successful, otherwise false.

Reimplemented from ToolData.

Reimplemented in SculptBrushToolData.

◆ Message()

virtual Bool Message	(	BaseDocument *	doc,
		BaseContainer &	data,
		Int32	type,
		void *	t_data
	)

virtual

Called when a tool receives messages.
For example description messages such as MSG_DESCRIPTION_COMMAND are sent here.

See also: C4DAtom::Message

Note: Some notification messages are automatically passed along to branches: MSG_POINTS_CHANGED, MSG_POLYGONS_CHANGED and MSG_SEGMENTS_CHANGED. This is for convenience and historical reasons.

Parameters

[in]	doc	The active document. Cinema 4D owns the pointed document.
[in]	data	The tool settings container.
[in]	type	The message type: MSG
[in,out]	t_data	The message data. The sender owns the pointed data.

Returns: true or false depending on the message type.

Reimplemented from ToolData.

Reimplemented in SculptBrushToolData, and BrushToolData.

◆ GetResourceSymbol()

virtual const String GetResourceSymbol ( )

pure virtual

Called to return the resource symbol of the tool.

Returns: The name of the description resource file to use for the plugin without .res extension, for example "Toolname".
The name has to be unique, i.e. "Tdisplay" cannot be used for two different descriptions. See Description Resource for more information.

Reimplemented from ToolData.

◆ GetToolPluginId()

virtual Int32 GetToolPluginId ( )

pure virtual

Called to return the plugin ID of the tool.

Returns: The tool plugin ID. This should be the same as the ID used with RegisterToolPlugin.

◆ InitDefaultSettings()

virtual void InitDefaultSettings	(	BaseDocument *	pDoc,
		BaseContainer &	data
	)

virtual

Called to initialize the default tool settings in data.

Parameters

[in]	pDoc	The active document. Cinema 4D owns the pointed document.
[in]	data	The tool settings container.

Reimplemented from ToolData.

Reimplemented in SculptBrushToolData, and BrushToolData.

◆ InteractiveModeling_Restart()

Bool InteractiveModeling_Restart ( BaseDocument * doc )

Called when the interactive modeling is restarted.
Applies the last modeling undo so that new values of the modeling tool can be applied (by calling the global function InteractiveModeling_Restart()).

Warning: Be sure to call the parent method as last return if overridden.

Parameters

[in] doc The active document. Cinema 4D owns the pointed document.

Returns: true if successful, otherwise false.
