Hi, don't be surprised, I have turned your thread into a question. The problem is, that the document will actually not be animated (or lets rather say, it will not be evaluated or executed) when calling SetTime(). Additionally you need to call ExecutePasses(). The BaseDocument manual in our C++ SDK documentation contains some extra information on this topic in the sections Time and Animate. Cheers, Andreas

Hi Ricardo, I can't do that, unfortunately. There are several reasons why I cannot update my machine to a later OSX version than El Capitan, at the moment. I did not encounter any problems so far that could be tracked down to the XCode version. Btw, I solved the problem. For some reason, after running the Project Tool again in a fuzzy "F*** it, it has has to work!" moment, things started working. I am stumped, as I don't know the reason, but anyway, the problem's gone. Cheers, Frank

Hi Roger, with respect to the Scale tool, yes, it is impossible to have individual parameters of a custom object scaled non-uniformly. Of course (but I'm sure you are aware, just mentioning for completeness here) such parameters can be scaled non-uniformly via the Attribute manager. Also you could implement handles for such, so the user can access these via the viewport. And the last option could be to implement your own scale tool. I'm sorry, I know, none of these options is very convenient, but unfortunately I have nothing better to offer. Cheers, Andreas

@s_bach I've tried GetPlugin but even returning the BasePlugin pointer, GetName() was always empty for my custom baseObjects. Edit: GetName() works, GetTypeName() don't. But GetObjectName() is perfect for me, thanks!

Thank you! In future I will set the tags.

Omg! I had an old version of the plugin defined in the Plugins list in prefs that set the paths to []. Blush Deluxe! Sorry for wasting your time. Works perfectly fine. Regards Bonsak

@s_bach Yes the BasePlugin I already obtained and got its ID, as well as its name. Was just wondering what the 9 represented, in order to use the appropriate defined keyword instead of the value. Thanks for the "PLUGINTYPE::TOOL"

Thanks so much this is exactly what I was looking for.

Hi, first of all thanks to @Cairyn for nice explanations and helping in solving this. I'd just like to add a link to one of our examples, pretty much demonstrating this workflow: mengersponge.py (plus the scene file). @Jvos : I hope you don't mind, may I ask you to please open a new topic for unrelated topics/questions. I have also moved this thread into the Cinema 4D Development category, added some tags and turned the thread into a question. Cheers, Andreas

Hi, A string with format "PLUGIN_CMD_123456" is meant to be used with MENURESOURCE_COMMAND, not RegisterCommandPlugin(). It tells Cinema the command ID and name for the menu item to be added. Note the sub-IDs returned from GetSubContainer() are specific to a command and aren't global to Cinema. Maybe CommandData isn't what you really need. Scripts from the user folder are automatically loaded and can be added to any menu using Customize Menus dialog.

Ah! So event_data['msg_data']['id'] is the id of the userdata. Didnt read your code comments Thanks alot! Regards Bonsak

@m_adam thanks so much for all your help on this!

Hi Rage, Unfortunately several importers and exporters do not have a constant for their ID. This is the case for FBX. The ID for the FBX exporter is 1026370. To find the ID of a specific exporter you can use the following code: import c4d saverPlugs = c4d.plugins.FilterPluginList(c4d.PLUGINTYPE_SCENESAVER, True) for plug in saverPlugs: print('{} : {}'.format(plug.GetName(), plug.GetID())) I turned the topic into a Q&A. Please remind to use this feature of the forum.

Awesome! Thanks. Regards Bonsak

One last note. I just tried this on OSX and it works fine. So it is just an issue for Windows machines and whatever version of IE the widget is using.

@y_puech said in ParseTupleAndKeywords in R20: Hi Victor, There's a logic error in the code you posted from the first post. The condition for R20 if (str.IsEmpty()!=false) returns false if the string has content. It makes more sense to call IsPopulated() for the R20 code instead of IsEmpty(). You are right, thank you!!!

Hi, in general your approach looks correct to us. Somehow I'm starting to regret we have a thoughtful and attentive community here. We can not hide a single change/omission in the docs without any one of you finding out about it... sigh! Yes, indeed the "Move/Copy Constructors" manual has been removed from the R20 docs, as it needed thorough review and at least partly rewriting we did not find the time for, yet. But it wasn't removed without at least partial replacement. Especially for your case the BaseArray manual contains a section on implementing classes for use with BaseArray. Thanks for the idea of a "documentation issue" tag. Cheers, Andreas

Hi, yes, you are right, this is currently not supported. I have filed an "idea" for our development. Cheers, Andreas

Hi @eZioPan thank you for this example very clear

@a_block No inconvenience at all, just happy to hear it's not only me!
