Hello,i want to visualize ngons with the GetVirtualObject-Method in my generatorobject after i already visualized normal polygons. In principle my "datatype" has the same information as the code from the documentation below.

Thanks for help

Did i missed a step between
>mod->CreateNgon(obj, padr, cnt);
and
>obj->InsertUnderLast(ret)
to "connect" the ngon-information with the PolygonObject so that thePolygonObject internally generates polygons out of the ngons or something like that?
I don't find the missing link. I need a food for thought.cheers

This line looks wrong.

AutoAlloc<PolygonObject> obj(0,0)With AutoAlloc allocated objects have only a scope-based lifetime. The polygon object will not be avaible anymore after GetVirtualObjects() has been processed. Use PolygonObject::Alloc(0,0) instead in this case.

Same Topic, other problem.
Now i want to visualize more than one ngon.
So i use a loop to allocate/free the memory of the PolygonObject and to insert them into the BaseObject.
In principle it looks like this.> <code>BaseObject *ret = BaseObject::Alloc(Onull);

My problem is, that this solution worked yesterday and today every time i get a Modeling Kernel Error: internal Error.
I know i should not use Commit without arguments in a loop (->documentation), but i "commit" not before the last run.And how i said, yesterday it worked.
If there was a magic dragon in my pc yesterday :-), has anybody an other idea to insert more than one ngon into the BaseObject or an idea why it works and than not.
cheers,
Oli

This seems to work fine here. Maybe just exchange the call to Commit() with mod- >Commit(obj, MODELING_COMMIT_NONE, NULL).

Thanks for the fast reply Matthias.
I have two things.
1.) If i exchange the call, i only see the last ngon i inserted, but it works :-).2.) With your solution i was aible to isolate the fault. In the concrete case i wanted to create a cube with three ngons. So i copied the Cinema-Cube (position of points and the polygonpoints). Ngon 2 and 3 create the ground or rather the top. Ngon 1 should create the four sides of the cube.
So i get these three arrays for the polygonpoints:
Ngon 1: 0,1,3,2,2,3,5,4,4,5,7,6,6,7, 1 ,0
Ngon 2: 1,7,5,3
Ngon 3: 6,0,2,4The marked "1" is the reason for the Modeling Kernel Error.
If i change the number to "3" for example it works. And if i change the call to Commit() again, i see all ngons :-).
So any idea why i get the error if there is a "1".
Thanks,
Oli

I solved the problem.
The process flow direction of the polygon was wrong at this point :-).
