@C4DS said in From edge to polygons:

storing a pair of (4 * polygon + edge) values

... it will be.
Thanks for the confirmation

@m_adam thank you for your answer😊 from the code, it similar to what i already try, but this way looks like not a perfect solution. actually after read most c4d gui sdk and write some examples, i think maybe c4d should update gui model? sometimes it not flexible. just my personal thoughts, don't mind : ) expect python 3.x and pyside2 coming : )

SendModelingCommand

Oops, I see Subdivision Renderer setting and not Subdivision Editor setting is taken into account.

I found my problem.
When the workplane is transformed, any new object will be created with it's matrix.
Since I'm using handles on a modifier, and was using the generator's matrix do draw (I don't need the modifier transform), the handles was being drawn with the added workplane transform.

As for SCALE_V, this normally works... but all groups above the GUI element need to have the same property

Nice! Thanks!

Hello,

just for your information: you find more about CTracks in the CTrack Manual and more information on DescIDs and DescLevels in the DescID Manual.

best wishes,

Hi @Graeme, thanks for reaching out us.

With regard to your request, aside from the @mp5gosu notes I'd like to point you to this discussion where SelectionTag creation is presented.

Feel free to come with any further consideration.

Best, Riccardo

Hi @bentraje, thanks for reaching out us.

With regard to your question, there's no "straightforward" method delivered, either in Cinema 4D Python API or C++ API, tailored to this specific scope but rather using the approach proposed by @Cairyn is the way to go (and personally I don't find anything clunky).

With regard to the GeListNode::Remove() as reported in the documentation it's just responsible for removing a node from a list and in C++ it's also return the object's ownership to the caller freeing Cinema 4D from being responsible to dispose that resource.

Best, Riccardo

Hi @mike, thanks for reaching out us.

With regard to the issue reported, I confirm that it's known bug and there is no current workaround.

A bug fix will be delivered in the future.

Regard, Riccardo.

RE: there is no way to retrieves the created object from the built-in Tool
Thanks for the confirmation

RE: SendModelingCommand/MCOMMAND_MIRROR.
Correct me if I'm wrong but this works only on polygon objects. I'm mirroring a joint chain rather than a polygon object.

Is there a way around this?

Thank you.

OK. Now I get it. 👌

Thank you very much! I really appreciate what you've done. 😁

Have a good day! 💙

Thanks Adam for the confirmation.
I'll just send it for Maxon Suggestion for now.

Thanks!

Hi ,
very embarrassing 😬

Now I can start to try to debug.

Thank you for pointing me to the rules. Tried to set your answer as the correct one... did not get the menu point

@m_magalhaes
Ah!
However, I had preferred it was me who had overlooked these all those years. As this means I will still need to find a different solution for pre-R20 compatibility.

hello,

we are sorry to hear that. Unfortunately this forum is for maxon API support and for every thirds party developers.
Your issue look like a bug or something, you have to use this platform instead

side remark :
As this is your first post i would also like to point you to this topic
I've set this up this time but it is important, that will help us and the community.

Cheers
Manuel

@m_adam Oh, yes! Thanks, it works just fine.

@m_magalhaes

Thank you for the explanation:
"The points are stored in a local space (local coordinates)."

Printing the three version of points space was really helpful

The code works as expected! 🙂

@m_adam Thanks Maxime. Your example really shows that the cache must be built independent of how much processing it takes.

Leaves me knowing that there must be something wrong on my modifiers, and indeed there was. I was checking if bt != nullptr inside ModifyObject(). I remember I copied this from some example, and it was interrupting the modifier to process. When the script is over, it would fire again with bt filled and finish deforming.

Sorry for the delay! Thanks for the help; I did manage to get it working. The ability to drag any control to the console is very useful, so thanks for that tip in particular.

I'll take a look at those links, Maxime. Sorry for the hassle. 🙃
