@m_adam Thanks for the info! I knew I was still missing a few flags 😉

@m_adam got it! it's working now.

The final code for my float sdf exporter is here.

@r_gigante @kbar

Thanks for the infomation. I assumed that was the case and it makes sense, I'm just reluctant to stop supporting older versions of Cinema but it might be time.

Riccardo, I think I was using the incorrect version of osX or XCode, not sure which, but using your codesign worked when I moved onto a later version of both and it is correctly signing my R20 compiles.

Thanks both of you for all of the help and clarifying of notarization.

Thank you @m_magalhaes & @r_gigante!

My apologies: I didn't understand how BaseLink worked and this clarified things. Thank you!

i forgot to mention:

For your next threads, please help us keeping things organised and clean. I know it's not your priority but it really simplify our work here.

Q&A New Functionality. How to Post Questions especially the tagging part.

I've added the tags and marked this thread as a question so when you considered it as solved, please change the state 🙂

Cheers,

Amazing! Thank you Manuel! It works with multiple objects, Cloners etc. Without your help I would not make it 😉

Hi @C4DS , maybe I wasn't enough clear.

you end up with a single merged object, which has 2 selection tags, and both still have the specific name ... but none have the added unique ID. Surely you start to think something is really wrong.

Actually you end up in a new mesh with new selection tags which beside having the data copied from the two source selection tags, they are NEW and hence the UniqueID is not supposed to be kept. The names are kept for convenience but I don't see any reason to have also the UniqueID being kept considering that - in the end - they are indeed new instances and have nothing to do with the source selection tags.

Cheers, R

Hi @C4DS, thanks for following up.

One note that it's worthy to share: the outcomes of this thread are valid as long as you need to stick to Classic API. In Maxon API (R20 and higher) you can make very good use of the CustomDataTag (see also GitHub example) whose data merging is managed directly by the modeling kernel.

Last but not least, as usual, if the discussion has come to an end, please don't forget to mark the question as SOLVED.

Cheers, R

hi,

thanks a lot for sharing your code 🙂

Don't forget to change the state of this thread to solved. (if it is)

cheers,
Manuel

@C4DS
Although a solution has not been given (as I wish to do), explanations have been provided. I have therefore considered it resolved.
For IRL reasons, I could not do so. I will be able to get back to it, and if I find THE solution, I will post it 😉

@m_adam Terrific work, Maxime! This is very helpful to me and I'm sure the many others who want to learn about dragging in Cinema 4D's UI. Excellent job! 🍾

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.
