OK, I feel pretty stupid now... I was so busy with the specific way I used the script in the past, I forgot about the animation part 😞
So, I'll try to find some time soon to get the code up and running for animation. So my main function will be larger than "pass" 🙂

Hello,

Polygonize() is just using SendModelingCommand() with MCOMMAND_CURRENTSTATETOOBJECT. You can actually see the C++ source in c4d_basedocument.cpp in the cinema.framework. But I don't think that this commands merges all objects into one polygon object.

@Aeoll
Additional question:

I'm creating a QApplication and then a QDialog but I can't seem to close the QApplication at all when the dialog is |
closed?
This means even when C4D is closed normally it's still running in the background and needs to be force-quit. Any |
suggestions appreciated

I have the same issue with PySide. You mentioned that sole this issue. Could you Help me?

@Rage if you're looking for a solution where the user is not involved, stick to the first answer where no CallButton() was considered.
On the contrary using it will request the user to interact since there are no means to programmatically interact with the UI or scripting users' actions on the UI.

Best, Riccardo

wow! i love that.
great job!

Hi Bentraje, thanks for following up and sorry for coming late here.

I've checked your geometry and the issue is not with the algorithm, but in both cases with the geometries you're using to compute the area who don't shown vertexes being properly "ordered".
The algorithm I've briefly presented requires the vertexes to be ordered as if you're visiting them by walking on the outer edge of your n-gon or polygon in CCW or CW. It is then mandatory to generate an ordered list of vertexes before passing the data to the function to get the correct result.

In order to come out with such an ordered list I warmly recommend you to visit the following old-threads:

Get all ngons PolygonObject.GetPolygonTranslationMap() Get outer edges of each Ngon

HI Andreas,

no worries, this question was not exclusively targeted at Maxon, the opposite is the case. I was hoping for some information by other users here, like @kbar or even @m_adam (back in the days Maxime was not associated with Maxon. ;))

Meanwhile, I'm going to build a toolchain and see what works for me. I'll report back here if I have something to show. That may help someone else.

I'm trying to use this super handy plug-in to build help system for my plug-ins.
Thanks for sharing this!
After some days of working i have a some suggestions and bug reports.

After each publishing, resulting index.html have a title tag "Plugins 4D Documentation". Is it possible to add ability inserting images with other formats like gif, jpg? Now i have to copy my images to images folder and type using markdown code like this (not showing in Preview window):  Preview window stops showing any text content if it contains symbol '–'. But after publishing results, final HTML is ok. Would be great to add ability to add favicon image.

@m_adam yes it solves the pb.
Thanks Maxime

Hello,

I just want to add that an example on how check a spline can be found in the BaseObject Manual.

Hi guys,

I'm finally glad to state that by upgrading the platform to a more recent version you should be able not only to mark a topic as Solved but also to select the correct post solving the thread.

Please verify on your side with your next-to-come threads and in case report any unexpected behavior.

Best, Riccardo

@a_block said in Cinema 4D Script: Web Search Selected Text:

I have added the "showcase" tag, so people are hopefully able to filter for your and other similar threads more easily.

Great! Thank you!👍

Hi,

thanks for pointing this out to us.
Yet, we were not able to reproduce this issue. What we found so far, when doing a search for "EventAdd()" (or anything similar resulting in a large number of results) and the search is set to show posts instead of threads, then switching between result pages can indeed take some time (at least for the first switch). During this time the page is indeed completely unresponsive and seems frozen, which is not nice. But here it always returned and showed the expected content after a bunch of seconds (I think in my tests longest was about 15 seconds).
We'll keep an eye on this.

Cheers,
Andreas

Hi @SteveJLV welcome in the plugincafe community,

I would like to point you to some rules:

Read Before Posting. Nothing wrong here, but just in case. Q&A New Functionality. I've setup your topic correctly.

As you already figured it out, you never assign a new value to the variable. In Python, everything is passed by value by default in 90% of the time.
Meaning when you do x = y will actually copy y to x, so afterward if you do x + 10 it will not affect y value.

If you have more questions, don't hesitate.
Cheers,
Maxime.

Hi,

I'm sorry for getting back late to you.

We have never done this ourselves nor have we heard of anyone.
The reasons for the difference between C++ and Python API are probably historic. Also back then we had no generic concept for callbacks in Python. Now, with MAXON API and appearance of Delegates and Observables such things will probably handled much nicer in future. Maybe it were also performance considerations.
Many words, for a "I don't know", sorry.

In any case we'll forward this a an idea to our development, so it is at least considered for a future release.

Cheers,
Andreas

Problem solved. The Volume Mesher is to blame. Putting it in a Connect object and using that as the clone object did the trick.
