New in version R17.032.

Parent Class:

c4d.BaseList2D

Overview¶

Ownership And Grouping
`BaseOverride.GetOwnerTake()`	Gets the Take that owns the Override.
`BaseOverride.GetSceneNode()`	Retrieves the original scene node connected to the Override node.
`BaseOverride.IsInGroup()`	Checks if the Override is also part of an Override Group, and if yes returns the group.
Parameter Management
`BaseOverride.GetAllOverrideDescID()`	Retrieves the DescID of all parameters in the Override.
`BaseOverride.IsOverriddenParam()`	Checks if the parameter at descID is overridden.
`BaseOverride.UpdateSceneNode()`	Updates the scene node whenever data is directly changed on the base Override (for example with `C4DAtom.SetParameter()`).

Members¶

Ownership And Grouping¶

BaseOverride.GetOwnerTake(self, takeData)¶

Gets the Take that owns the Override.

Parameters: takeData (c4d.modules.takesystem.TakeData) – The Take System context.
Return type: c4d.modules.takesystem.BaseTake
Returns: The Take for the Override.

BaseOverride.GetSceneNode(self)¶

Retrieves the original scene node connected to the Override node.

Return type: c4d.BaseList2D
Returns: The original scene node.

BaseOverride.IsInGroup(self, takeData)¶

Checks if the Override is also part of an Override Group, and if yes returns the group.

Parameters: takeData (c4d.modules.takesystem.TakeData) – The Take System context.
Return type: Tuple[bool, c4d.modules.takesystem.BaseOverrideGroup]
Returns: True if the Override is part of an Override Group, otherwise False.

Parameter Management¶

BaseOverride.GetAllOverrideDescID(self)¶

Retrieves the DescID of all parameters in the Override.

Note

Sub-descriptions are included if overridden.

Return type: List[c4d.DescID]
Returns: The DescID of all overridden parameters.

BaseOverride.IsOverriddenParam(self, descID)¶

Checks if the parameter at descID is overridden.

Parameters: descID (c4d.DescID) – The parameter to be checked.
Return type: bool
Returns: True if parameter is overridden, otherwise False.

BaseOverride.UpdateSceneNode(self, takeData, descID)¶

Updates the scene node whenever data is directly changed on the base Override (for example with C4DAtom.SetParameter()).

This ensures the scene node is properly updated if the Override affects the current document state.

Note

An undo step is added automatically if the call is added from the main (GUI) thread and global undo is allowed (see TakeData.GetUndoState()/TakeData.SetUndoState()).

Parameters

takeData (c4d.modules.takesystem.TakeData) – The Take System context.
descID (c4d.DescID) – The edited parameter.

Query	Words and phrases	Search is case-insensitive. Put a phrase in quotes for an exact match. Quoted phrases require every word and disable fuzzy matching.
Terms	OR / AND	Choose whether to match any term or require all terms.
Fuzzy	On / Off	Toggle approximate and prefix matches. Quoted phrases always use strict matching.
Results	Sparse / Dense	Sparse groups multiple hits for one entity and hides its owned API members when the class or module itself matches. Dense lists each match separately.
Sort by	Type / Relevance	Group results by entity type then rank within each group, or rank all results by relevance.
Content	All / API / Manuals / Examples / Resources	Search all documentation, API documentation, manuals, the examples index, or the resources index. Code examples embedded in other sections retain their own content area.
Entity	All / Page / Module / Class / Function / Attribute / Description / Node / Symbol / Icon	Page covers results without a specific entity type. Resource entity types are available with All or Resources; API entity types are available with All or API.
Location	All / Text / Code / Name / Signature	Text covers everything outside code, names, and signatures. Name and Signature are available with All or API.
