Quick question: how would one go about drawing polygon object vertices similar to the way Cinema 4D does it (that is, camera-aligned/screen-relative squares).  There is no DrawBox2D() and DrawBox() is a 3D box.  In order for it always to have the same face facing the screen/camera and nearly planar seems like more work than should be required.  A code example would be amazing!

Thanks,

I think that I figure it out.  It looks exactly like the C4D vertices anywhoo - and they can be sized interactively.

// note: Vector* verts = op->GetPointW();  
Matrix            m;  
Real            spSize =        bc->GetReal(TSYMMORPHY_SOURCEPOINTS_SIZE);  
bd->LineZOffset(32L);  
bd->SetMatrix_Screen();  
if (bc->GetBool(TSYMMORPHY_SHOW_SOURCEPOINTS))  
{  
  Vector            spColor =        bc->GetVector(TSYMMORPHY_SOURCEPOINTS_COLOR);  
  for (LONG i = 0L; i != vcnt; ++i)  
  {  
      if (!sp[i].use)    continue;  
      m.off =            bd->WS(verts[sp[i].index] * op->GetMg());  
      bd->DrawBox(m, spSize, spColor, FALSE);  
  }  
}  
bd->SetMatrix_Matrix(NULL, Matrix(), 0L);
