Is there a way to get Polygons from BaseObjects() ?

Only if the BaseObject is a PolygonObject.
So, you need to check the type of the object (GetType), cast to PolygonObject, and use GetPolygonR (or W) to access the polys.

ok - and otherwise there is no way to gain access to the position of a point in a parametric object?

For parametric and deformed objects, you should check out the documentation for GetCache(), GetDeformCache(), and perhaps HierarchyHelp. The internal caches can be complete hierarchies that need to be traversed but should ultimately resolve to PolygonObjects.

GetCache().GetClone() returns only the non deformed geometry of an parametric object.
this works for me:
surface = gen[c4d.MG_OBJECT_LINK] surface2list = [surface] doc.SetActiveObject(None) settings = c4d.BaseContainer() settings.SetBool(c4d.MDATA_CURRENTSTATETOOBJECT_INHERITANCE, True) polysurface = c4d.utils.SendModelingCommand(c4d.MCOMMAND_CURRENTSTATETOOBJECT, surface2list, bc=settings, doc=doc) polys = polysurface[0].GetAllPolygons() points = polysurface[0].GetAllPoints() -

Cairyn was actually right. He didn't only mention GetCache(), but also GetDeformCache(). If you look at the code example given for GetCache(), you see that both are used in conjunction to get the caches for more complex hierarchies.
