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. http://tools4polygons.blogspot.com/2015/12/multiple-uvs-and-lightmaps-in-c4d.html Cheers, Kent

@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! /Filip

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 If you don't add outdated nodes to your list head, they are not written into the file.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 Cheers Manuel

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!

@m_adam Thank your for your answer

Hi Maxime, Thank you for the reply. I will give your suggestions a try. -Kevin

@r_gigante said in Copying / cloning a Volume Builder object.: AliasTrans Great news, I will try it. Thanks. Edit: Yes, everything is ok now! But to be honest, I do not fully understand the functionality. The manual says "Normally Cinema 4D provides an alias translator when needed, for example in NodeData.CopyTo(). However, to copy objects manually use: ..." So, the advise is to use this functionality when copying objects? I see the functionality is here since R17, but this is the first time I came across this issue and this solution.
