      In C++. We need to use the " virtual SplineObject* GetContour() " method. As part of the class.
      If it's left out. The spline does not even draw.
      This does not seem to be the case in python.

      Per the C++ SDK. GetContour() is used for generating splines.
      AFAIK. It's not needed to generate other types of objects.

      This is just a wild guess.
      But it looks like the way the python version is ported from C++ is allowing us to generate splines in python without using GetContour(). Which might be a bad practice.
      My guess is that this is not the  "proper"  way to build a spline generator.  And will cause things like the Align-to-Spline tag not to work with it.

      This is just a wild guess based on my experience with it in C++.

        Hello Lennart
        I try to put spl-pygen object, clonner draw it normally, without returning of base object(make editable) as described.

        At more complex code, pyGen was failed at drawing of object if it is in clonner/or mo-object.

        Also try Nux95's DrawApi helpers, thanks a'lot to Niklas!
        Niklas, can you make sample with DrawLines if it-s possible, i some ago apply at sample project...but lost it....

          Maybe I need to be even more clear 🙂

          Make a PyGenerator generating a spline.
          ie return c4d.BaseObject(c4d.Osplinecircle)

          Then put the PyGenerator in a Cloner as Object source
          does not allow me to clone stuff on the PyGenerator
          as the Cloner does not see the PyGenerator as a spline.

          Put the PyDoubleCircle in the Cloner instead as Object source
          and I can clone.

          The issue really comes down to that I can't see what in
          the PyDoubleCircle example that makes it work.
          (Other than it's using GetContour() )

            seems it's not possible, if only add optionally new functions as presenting of PyGen like splineObj...like checkbox with GetContour dependecy

              Update. I've actually got it working (as a plugin), stripping down the
              PyDoubleCircle example bit by bit..
              I'll post the barebone working code this week with a new question
              as it became a new issue how handle updating it.
              My guess it's about GetCache(), Get/SetDirty(), all new
              territory for me.

              Thanks till later!

                  That's a good twist, adding the Cloner link via the script, nice.
                  Don't need to do the CSTO either really.

                    You're right! Thanks a'lot.

                    I played with M.Zabiegly's pointcloud's sample(big thanks to his xpresso tutorials), trying to get cache from procedural objects(Lennart, i make same 3d fashion sample as you did) and try to apply same CSTO.

                    For CSTO and additional py-snippets i want to say Thanks to Sebastien, Niklas, Scott...

                        Not really I'm afraid.
                        But I've come a long way linking Cloners, MoSplines etc
                        from within the plugin as per the example you show earlier.
                        This way basically any virtual object within the generator
                        can be picked.

                            I mean your previous work as Python Draw Helper(sample with bd, draw polygon triangle with coloring)

                            your GUI development is wonderful!!!!

                                    As it only refresh itself internally and not from changes of external input.
                                    I started another thread about that but it's not totally solved other than the workarounds mentioned there (link from within the script/code)
