      Thanks Robert, I am toying around with Polygon3D(). One more question to you or anyone else..   How to I determine if the checkbox or Bool named SHOW_PLANE has been checked?

        TagData::Draw() sends your tag as PluginTag* tag. Do this:

        if (tag->GetDataInstance()->GetBool(SHOW_PLANE)) // draw

          At this point I'm just looking for a message to come back and tell me that the box was checked. But nothing is showing up.

          Do you see anything wrong?

          Thanks,

                Can you think of anything that would prevent GePrint () from printing to the console? It seems like it's not recognizing that the checkbox was checked.

                  Without any additional code it is hard to say. Maybe the description resource for the checkbox is wrong.

                        Please do, because the description resource seems to be ok.

                        Btw. is the Draw() method called at all?

                          If this does not show the problem I can email you the whole contents of the .cpp file if you PM me your email.

                          Thanks so much Matthias for taking the time to help me out.

                            I just realize that your Draw function has a wrong declaration. For TagData plugins it looks like this

                            virtual Bool Draw(PluginTag *tag, BaseObject *op, BaseDraw *bd, BaseDrawHelp *bh)

                            Your Draw() method is probably never called.

                            cheers,

                                how do I remove the polygon after I have drawn it? I am able to draw a polygon on the symmetry plane now but I want it to go away after they uncheck the bool.

                                Thanks in advance,

                                      This was accomplished using SetTransparency ()

                                          Well , I was hoping I wouldn't have to ask again. LOL but can someone point me in the right direction on how to be able to take the color selected from a COLOR selector in the attributes manager and turning that into the color values for the polygon3D()..

                                          Thanks,
