@m_magalhaes ok,It's a bit complicated

@r_gigante Perfect! Worked like a charm. Thank you.

Thanks a lot! That helps Cheers, Frank

@m_adam You are a genius - I am in awe! Thank you everyone for the help!

@m_magalhaes This morning: uff more learning and work. This Afternoon lets try this code ... mind blown ... thank you ! I'll mark this as solved hence I think ist a good way to close a thread with a working prototype for others to learn. Thank You again, @zipit & @m_magalhaes mogh

Thanks, Maxime! That answers all my questions I'll mark this solved now.

@m_adam & @PluginStudent Thank you both! This was exactly what I needed. This forum is so so helpful.

Hi @r_gigante, @zipit, I'm creating something like the following code. I tried to use the GetAndCheckHierarchyClone, this works but the cloner object became to slow to calculate. For this reason I used the following solution: def __init__(self): pass #self.SetOptimizeCache(True) def GetVirtualObjects(self, op, hh): instance = op.GetDown() if instance is None: return c4d.BaseObject(c4d.Onull) dirty = op.CheckCache(hh) or op.IsDirty(c4d.DIRTY_DATA) instance_dirty = instance.IsDirty(c4d.DIRTY_DATA) dirty |= instance_dirty if not dirty: return op.GetCache(hh) cloner = c4d.BaseObject(c4d.Onull) count = 3 n = 0 while n < count: instance.GetCache().GetClone().InsertUnder(cloner) n += 1 cloner.Message(c4d.MSG_UPDATE) return cloner So, by just deactivating the SetOptimizeCache and cloning only the cache of the instance object the cloner object calculate is become to fast. The unique problem now is the cloner object is return the cache of previous modification on the instance object. This is perceptible only with bool parameters. Example: When I check a bool parameter of the instance object, the cloner return the result of the previous state of the bool parameter. but if I mouseover the cloner in the Viewport or I select it object manager this update the cloner object. Thanks

Ok, thanks @r_gigante... I'll keeping going with the workaround.

Oh man, it really was the missing message. Never thought it would have such weird consequences to forget that. Thanks guys!

@zipit This plug-in has a twin plug-in that has some properties with the same name, and I suspect that the properties with the same name cause conflicts (even if the ids are different).I made the modification and it is normal now. Thank you for your reply Cheers

hello, that's because you set the width of your columns to more that what it show. But you can simply passed that argument when you add your customGUI settings.SetBool(c4d.TREEVIEW_RESIZE_HEADER, False) In the c++ doc you have that page and in python this one Cheers, Manuel

hi, it looks correct. Of course be sure to retrieve a unique id here, from the top bar. (the icon plugin ID) Feel free to ask questions. Cheers, Manuel

Thanks for the confirmation

Awesome @m_magalhaes, works perfect now! Thank very much! Flavio

hello, wow sorry this went out of my scope. Anything to add or can we set this thread to solved ? Cheers, Manuel

Well @pyxelrigger thanks for clarifying the final scope. Since, as already stated, folding or unfolding a scene entry doesn't generate any valuable message to be intercepted, the sole - brute force - hack you might try to implement in Python would be to implement a MessageData plugin which constantly checks for the folded/unfolded state of the entries in the scene and eventually delete the unfolded one. This approach carries strong performances penalties to the whole Cinema 4D UI because you need to constantly traverse the scene and depending on the scene size this could strongly affect Cinema performances. If there are no further question please mark the thread as solved. Best, R

Wow, thanks for the example, @r_gigante. Was it always possible to import a redshift module? Or is there any info from which version on (C4D / Redshift) this is possible!? Thanks, Lasse

You're welcome, Manuel. Actually, I usually prepare all the textures and mapping to be in UVW mapping, when texturing is required. But, mainly, what I need is exporting geometry that is animated.
