LOL.. obviously the obvious eludes me some times. HAHA..

Do I fill it the way it is declared?

like this.

DoCommand(ModelingCommandData &mdat;);

or do I need something else in the parenthesis?

LOL. thank you for you patience with this noob.

Like this unless you have another mdat you have already alotted for this:

Okay. so now it calls the DoCommand function but as soon as it does, C4D crashes out...

Do you see anything in this code that would cause C4D to crash?

After you get objPoly, check that it isn't NULL:

if (!objPoly) return FALSE;

Also, make sure that the mdat.bc is set to a BaseContainer. I'd do this in Message after declaring mdat. Declare a BaseContainer and add it:

BaseContainer bc;
mdat.bc = bc;

You may also want to set your input BaseContainer value (HYPERNURBS_SUBDIVISION).

and this is the error.

warning C4700: uninitialized local variable 'bc' used

I assume there is more I have to do to the basecontainer.

Don't use a pointer to it, just declare it as I did above.

hmm.. now I get this.

error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'BaseContainer' to 'BaseContainer *'
