Hey there everybody,
This is my first post on these forums. I'm a frequenter of C4DCafe but I've only recently started developing plugins.

Right now I'm having some issues invoking the Optimize command in Cinema4D. Here's the piece of code where I'm having trouble:

> \> //Optimize points on the objects \> //Create new Modeling Command Data \> ModelingCommandData cd_3; \> cd_3.doc = doc; \> //Also need a base container to pass Optimize command data \> BaseContainer bc; \> bc.SetReal(MDATA_OPTIMIZE_TOLERANCE, 0.01); \> bc.SetReal(MDATA_OPTIMIZE_POINTS, TRUE); \> bc.SetReal(MDATA_OPTIMIZE_POLYGONS, TRUE); \> bc.SetReal(MDATA_OPTIMIZE_UNUSEDPOINTS, TRUE); \> //Set the objects to be changed \> cd_3.op = (BaseObject\* ) cd_2.result->GetIndex(0); \> GePrint(((BaseObject\* ) cd_2.result->GetIndex(0))->GetName()); \> if(SendModelingCommand(MCOMMAND_OPTIMIZE, cd_3)) \> { \> cd_3.op->Message(MSG_UPDATE, NULL); \> //Optimize command doesn't return anything. \> } else { \> //Command failed \> return FALSE; \> } \>

When I do this, the object that I run the optimize command on doesn't actually get optimized. I tried this on a cylinder and my code did not result in the cap and the body points merging.

Any ideas?

Thank you,
Yilmaz Kiymaz

1. Optimize may work 'directly' on the original object in the document. If you set 'op' to the result of another SendModelingCommmand() then it is not the original object that is being optimized.

2. If you really want to optimize the original object, set cd_3.op to it or you'll otherwise need to insert the new object into the document before optimizing and possibly replacing the original with the new object.

This will all depend upon your sequence of SendModelingCommand()s which looks to be two previous ones before arriving at the optimize. Unfortunately, this function either modifies the original object in the document directly (there is nothing useful in result) or puts it into the result array.

Wow, ok, turns out I never linked the BaseContainer to the ModelingCommandData using cd_3.bc = &bc;

Now it works just fine. Thanks kuroyume.

Hey, thanks Frank
Yes, looks like C4D plugin development is a bumpy and dangerous road but I'm not about to give up. Glad to see you're active on these forums.
