Hi the CallCommand is the correct way to go. And @Cairyn it's in the Snap module because it uses some logic that is already implemented in the snap module such as the enabling state or other internal parameters storage logic. So using the CallCommand make sure everything is setup correctly. Note that in the end the solo things are only setting/clearing the NBIT_EHIDE of objects. Cheers, Maxime.

Thank you all for your comments and clarification! With all of this extra time at home, I will be going down the path of Python. I found this in c4d.BaseObject in the documentation: import c4d obj = c4d.BaseObject(c4d.Ocube) # Create new cube obj.SetRelPos(c4d.Vector(20)) # Set position of cube doc.InsertObject(obj) # Insert object in document c4d.EventAdd() # Send global event message Now to convert 2D mouse coordinates to 3D and input those (on click) to the obj.SetRelPos(c4d.Vector(x))... I know this is an x,y,z vector, as this code generates the cube at 20,20,20. And it looks like the code works with centimetres, not inches, even if my units are in inches. I may need to do some conversion down the road...

Hi Frank sorry for the delay needed for this issue, I get the time to look at it, and this is the thing I should have checked first, but either in a GeDialog with a Layout created in a script, I'm not able to hide a tab. Since you said it was working previously, could you confirm you don't want to hide only the content (in your case the 3 StaticText) but also the tab in the tab entry, isn't? If yes could you provide a code sample because I would say even in a normal case I'm not able to reproduce. import c4d class Dlg(c4d.gui.GeDialog): def CreateLayout(self): if self.TabGroupBegin(10001, c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT | c4d.BFV_SCALEFIT, tabtype=c4d.TAB_TABS): if self.GroupBegin(10010, c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT | c4d.BFV_SCALEFIT, 0, title="First Tab"): self.AddStaticText(10011, c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT | c4d.BFV_SCALEFIT, name="Text01") self.GroupEnd() if self.GroupBegin(10020, c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT | c4d.BFV_SCALEFIT, 0, title="Second Tab"): self.AddStaticText(10021, c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT | c4d.BFV_SCALEFIT, name="Text02") self.GroupEnd() self.GroupEnd() self.AddButton(10030, c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT | c4d.BFV_SCALEFIT, name="Remove First Tab") return True def Command(self, id, msg): if id == 10030: print self.HideElement(10010, True) print self.LayoutChanged(10001) return True def main(): global dlg dlg = Dlg() dlg.Open(c4d.DLG_TYPE_ASYNC) # Execute main() if __name__=='__main__': main() To me, the only way to remove a tab is to flush the complete group master of the TabGroup and re-add tabs except for the one you don't want. Cheers, Maxime.

@m_magalhaes Thanks for the example. I am sure this will be helpful in future, however for now I am still stuck with the classic API to remain backwards compatible. While there isn't a readily available solution to the problem, a few options have been mentioned how to handle this. As such I will set the topic as solved.

Hello to all @zipit said in GetFontDescription() on Windows and Mac: FONT_FLAGS Thank you i miss flags in https://developers.maxon.net/forum/post/58961

Hi, without further feedback, I'll set this thread as solved tomorrow. Cheers, Maxime

Hi, without further feedback, I'll set this thread as solved tomorrow. Cheers, Maxime

@r_gigante Thanks for confirming. We will try to reverse engineer the filenames based on that data. Cheers /Filip

@iluxa7k said in Faster way of checking if dialog has closed?: LP_c_long Long story short it's a pointer http://makble.com/the-story-of-lpclong, and I think the method provided by Zipit is the best one, since as he said there is no way to control the behavior of an external (from your plugin) GeDialog. Cheers, Maxime.

@m_magalhaes said in Trigger Tag: I though you were using a hidden BaseLink parameter on your tag to point to the other tag. Ah, didn't think about that. Clever.

Hi @pyxelrigger thanks for reaching out us. With regard to your question, I'm a bit confused cause you mentioned having your layout opened every time with a default width and height (regardless of the values stored in the layout) whilst, on the contrary, you pasted a method belonging to GeDialog::Open(). Question: is a dialog or a layout to open every time with a default width and height? Cheers, R

@kikizg Yes we are aware of it and it's already reported. Thanks for you feedback, if you find other weird stuff, please post them. Cheers, Maxime.

hi, without further feedback i'll set this thread as solved tomorrow. Cheer, Manuel

hi, without further feedback i'll set this thread as solved tomorrow. Cheer, Manuel

hi, can we considered this thread as solved ? (at least we answered your question) Without further feedback i'll set it to solved tomorrow. Cheers, Manuel

hi, juste as a follow up, we've update our example and include this one. insert a material to the selected polygons Cheers, Manuel

Thanks for the confirmation. I shall treat the extra link directions as nonexistent then

Hi Cayring this is indeed a bug I'm going to report them and fix them (both for BaseMaterial and shader) as soon as possible If you have other cases like that please report them. I set the topic as solved, I will bump this topic once the fix will be available. Cheers, Maxime.

Thanks! seems to work well! the problem is that apparently it only runs on the tag, if I set the option as a UserData of my object, it doesn't work
