hi, no trouble at all, you are here to ask questions, we are here to answer. Cheers, Manuel.

Thank you! That does it exactly!

@m_adam You are a genius! Thank you, Maxime

Hi Kantronin, thanks for reaching out us and welcome to PluginCafé. To make Cinema 4D programatically executing modeling commands, you can make use of SendModelingCommand which properly satisfy your scope. Aside from the example shown in the documentation you can also have a look at this post from @maxime and this other post about Optimize command. Last but not least be aware that the modeling command settings are specified in the BaseContainer passed to the SendModelingCommand and whose parameters can be found in the MCOMMAND page. Finally please remind to use Tags and Ask as a question for any future support entries

@C4DS That was the most normal happy smiling glad you solved your issue emoji I could find. Any of the others could definitely have been interpreted in many ways. Hope that one came across alright

@m_magalhaes Thanks for reminding me of the GeDialog::CoreMessage. I totally overlooked that.

Great example, thank you. -Pim

Hi @pyr, I've just reached the development team about it. So for them, this is not a bug since FieldList store only baseLink. In Python, we don't have BaseLink, but if you are not aware of what it is, please read BaseLink Manual. But since there is no BaseLink in Python, if a link points to a destructed object (like in your case, Python simply returns None) So I guess your workaround is ok. Cheers, Maxime

@C4DS Thank you for your help! It works！ Cheers~

Yes, that solved it. Thanks.

hello, the xref will import the material unless it's on Generator mode. You can maybe juste merge de target document with your current document. This work with a simple scene of course but can go really more complicated. def main(): if op is None: raise ValueError("you have to select at least one object") if not op.IsInstanceOf(c4d.Oxref): raise ValueError("selected object must be a xref") # Starts Undo doc.StartUndo() # if the xref is in generator mode, we need to import the material from the target document. if op[c4d.ID_CA_XREF_GENERATOR]: targetDoc = op[c4d.ID_CA_XREF_FILE] c4d.documents.MergeDocument(doc, targetDoc, c4d.SCENEFILTER_MATERIALS | c4d.SCENEFILTER_OBJECTS, None) else: result = c4d.utils.SendModelingCommand(command = c4d.MCOMMAND_CURRENTSTATETOOBJECT, list = [op] , doc=doc) if result: doc.InsertObject(result[0]) doc.AddUndo(c4d.UNDOTYPE_NEW, result[0]) else: raise ValueError("couldn't retrieves the CSTO of the xref") #remove the existing xref doc.AddUndo(c4d.UNDOTYPE_CHANGE, op) op.Remove() doc.EndUndo() c4d.EventAdd() Cheers, Manuel

@rossc1 Thanks for the inputs, I will for sure add a note in the documentation regarding this issue. Just as a follow-up from the current status, it is confirmed and while there is a behavior change in our side due to the new licensing mechanism, the issue also comes from Visual Studio Code, reading directly raw string to detect a valid interpreter, and fail if something is not formated as it wants. However, we received the official confirmation from Visual Studio Code that they will not change their implementation, and not support custom interpreters. But we are still on it. Regarding your needs for an IDE, you can use Pycharm, the only pre-requires is to rename c4dpy to python, unfortunately, we can't officially recommend doing such things since newer OS (Catalina) prevent user changing content of an application package but @dskeith explained everything cleary in How to use c4dpy for Cinema4D R20 SP1. Cheers, Maxime.

@lasselauch said in SetData() with FindCustomGui / CUSTOMGUI_BITMAPBUTTON: there's no way to flush a single Element and insert at that position, right? It has to be a group For what I know, correct. Cheers, Manuel

Hello, this is not possible. ObjectData is a class of the "classic" API. The Maxon API has no equivalent counterpart. You get an overview over plugin types here: Plugin Types. best wishes, Sebastian

Ah, ok. Somehow missed that line. I thought defining the legacy framework in the api list was sufficient. Cheers!

@Cairyn Thanks for the code. It works as expected. @s_bach Thanks for the reference. Reading it at the moment and the whole base container is much more complicated than I thought it would be.

@m_adam Gotcha. Thanks for the confirmation.

Thanks Manuel.Adding that lambda did the trick. Working fine now.
