Bonjour tout la monde,
I found this post (over in the C arena), among others, on using the knife tool with smc, and I've spent a lot of time trying to figure it out in general with no joy. I find myself asking, "Is it even possible?"
Here's the simple bit I've been trying:
data = c4d.BaseContainer()
data.SetLong(1100, 3) ##Set mode to Plane
data.SetBool(1115, 1) ##Set to Slice, for now, so I can figure out one thing at a time
data.SetLong(1107, 2) ##Set plane to XZ
objList = []
objList.append(doc.GetFirstObject()) ##Temporary cube for testing
c4d.utils.SendModelingCommand(244, objList, 0, data, doc, c4d.MODELINGCOMMANDFLAGS_CREATEUNDO) ##244 = c4d.MCOMMAND_KNIFE
c4d.EventAdd()No errors, just... nothing happens. Anyone know how to/have ever successfully cut anything in any way whatsoever? Really appreciate the help.

the knife tool requires mouse input in all modes, even for the plane-slice mode.
as stated in the linked thread it is currently not possible to use the knife tool as
a smc command, as it is not possible access/write the required data.Vector MDATA_KNIFE_P1; Vector MDATA_KNIFE_V1; Vector MDATA_KNIFE_P2; Vector MDATA_KNIFE_V2; >__Originally posted by xxxxxxxx__Originally posted by xxxxxxxx
that i wasn't able to set the vectors for the knife tool is just a limitation
of the knifetool ?
I contacted the developers on this.
and just as a advice - try not to use smc if you can avoid it in any way. it is more or less just one
big bug. -

Thanks, devil.
I was hoping the Plane mode might lead to an exception. Oh well, there's always another way.

Hi,
It's possible to send a knife modeling command. I just posted a code example in the other thread.

Thanks Yannick! That's awesome.
Sorry I'm a bit late noticing you posted this, I had given it up for dead
