Toggle knife cut planes

peXel

Hello There,

in earlier days (R19 and before) I had a script to toggle the planes from our plane knife cut tool. Sadly it's not working anymore (R21).
What I was able to create was a simple plane cut script for each plane, but I need now three shortcuts to switch them instead of one.
Does anybody have an idea, how this script will look like, with one shortcut?

Thank you very much!

Best,
Peter

    tool()[c4d.MDATA_KNIFEPLANE_PLANE_MODE] = 2
    tool()[c4d.MDATA_KNIFEPLANE_PLANE] = 0

hello,

if i understood correctly the question you should just add one the to current value of the MDATA_KNIFEPLANE_PLANE with a % (modulo) of 3. So the value will come back to 0 instead of going to 4.

    tool()[c4d.MDATA_KNIFEPLANE_PLANE] = (tool()[c4d.MDATA_KNIFEPLANE_PLANE] + 1) % 3

Cheers,
Manuel
