Hi Daniel, thanks for sharing your further considerations.

I see your points and maybe we should consider to update our documentation to reflect the notes above. I will discuss with the team and maybe we could come with a better introduction where the "plugin" term is used in a less generic meaning.

Cheers, Riccardo

hello,

while RegisterCustomGuiPlugin could be called in all your plugins, the issue is that you will have a message in the console indicating that the id is already used / in conflict.

So you can check, as you stated, if the library is already installed with IsLibraryInstalled or using FindPlugin and only register and install the library if you find nothing.

The load order here should not be a problem as all modules should be loaded before you need to call anything related to the UI.

Instead of FindPlugin,for CUSTOMDATATYPEPLUGIN or RESOURCEDATATYPEPLUGIN you can use
FindCustomDataTypePlugin or FindResourceDataTypePlugin

Cheers
Manuel

Oh okay. Thanks for the confirmation. Have a great day ahead!

@m_magalhaes Thanks ,it works well，I modified the code according to your answer.

1 draw line not obscured by any object.solved

2 before i just draw line in MouseImput() (not add Draw() funtion),as above pic/code, Now i draw line in Draw(),it works well.solved

Thank you again, @m_adam! I ended up using the C++ method, and it worked like a charm.

Also, I appreciate the link to the *args and **kwargs at pythontips.com. It was very helpful to understand those concepts.

I do have (many) more questions, but I'll start new posts since they're not related to this topic.

My Best,

Eric

@r_gigante Nice one, thanks!

Hi Aurelein!

Great to see the importer is happening.

Just thought this old blog post of mine might help you.

@m_magalhaes thank for your help!

hello,

if you don't have anything else to add, i'll mark this topic as "solved"

Cheers
Manuel

@m_adam

Interesting. I never thought of doing it that way.
Thanks for the response. It works as expected.

Have a great day ahead!

@r_gigante said in Specify additional directories for DLL dependencies:

If I end up with some workaround I'll come back here but for the time being I consider it solved.

OK, thanks for the info!

Sure sure we can label at as solved at the moment.
Thanks again for the help!

Hello,

I don't think you have to do anything else in Write(). WriteObject() should only write the nodes that you inserted into the list head. If you don't add outdated nodes to your list head, they are not written into the file.

best wishes,
Sebastian

@m_magalhaes Thank you for your patient answers.

yea, sometime a direct approach is better.

By the way, and for those who are reading this post, you can use the ids found in Ospline.h
(i'm pretty sure you found them but just in case)

SPLINEOBJECT_INTERPOLATION_NONE SPLINEOBJECT_INTERPOLATION_NATURAL SPLINEOBJECT_INTERPOLATION_UNIFORM SPLINEOBJECT_INTERPOLATION_ADAPTIVE SPLINEOBJECT_INTERPOLATION_SUBDIV

This has deviated a bit from the original question, so I will mark this as solved and open a new thread with the remaining questions.

Thanks for the input everybody!

@mp5gosu this completely makes sense and it's indeed a valuable recommendation but I wasn't sure about Pim's requirement here on deriving from Cinema 4D base classes.

Cheers, R

Yes, I do the same.
I can check whether the obj is dirty and set the nbits again.

Thank you.

Hi Frank, thanks for following up 🙂

With regard to your latest question, there are no means to "ask" the Ngon system about that.

Checking for the number of vertexes an n-gon is going to use before deciding to use it, it's a reasonable way to proceed.

Cheers, Riccardo

@m_magalhaes said in Retrieve tags that have only "logical" Priority Data?:

descTag = tag.GetDescription(c4d.DESCFLAGS_DESC_NONE) bc = descTag.GetParameter(c4d.EXPRESSION_PRIORITY) if bc[c4d.DESC_NAME] is not None: print tag

Thanks @m_magalhaes. Works as expected!
Just a little change from c4d.DESCFLAGS_DESC_NONE to c4d.DESCFLAGS_DESC_0

Thanks again. Have a great day ahead!
