SnapTool for R2023?

ferdinand

we cannot provide a plugin from the SDK as a separate download. In fact, we usually do not provide any binaries for the SDK at all. I will recompile the SDK next week and upload it here. That is all I can do for you, in case there is something fishy with this binary going on.

Cheers,
Ferdinand

ok thanks and have a nice weekend

Hey @moebius,

Please excuse for the delay, things are a bit hectic here at the moment. I have recompiled the SDK for 2024.0.0 in release mode (the link from above is a debug build I think, I then just grabbed what I had on disk anyway).

2024.0.0 SDK Binaries (WIN).zip

Cheers,
Ferdinand

moebius

You are my hero!
sorry I also was not here often. But this litte tool works now again!

moebius

Hi Ferdinand
Here we go again. It does not work anymore in R2025. Would you be so kind and update it? Or talk to Dave he should put it in C4D asap

Thanks a lot!!!

ferdinand

Hey, moebius, sure I can update this, but it will probably only happen next week, as I currently still busy with the SDK.

moebius

thanks! I'll come back in a feew weeks

ferdinand

Hey,

Here is a 2025.0.0 SDK build. Just as for the previous builds, this is Windows only, and also not code signed. Maybe we can find a bit permanent solution in the future, as the C++ SDK also contains a quite useful tool for Python developers (the Active Object plugin).

~~Cinema_4D_CPP_SDK_2025_0_0.zip~~

Cheers,
Ferdinand

Hi Ferdinand!

Thanks a lot!
unfortunately it does not show up in the extentions.
but, hell jey, a permanent solution would be great. An overhaul of the snap tool in C4D!

Hi just to let you know that Ferdinand is in vacation, he will look into your topic once you are back.
Cheers,
Maxime.

moebius

nice comunity

ceen

Implementation of that tool would be nice indeed!

moebius

@ceen Does it work for you in R2025?
This Tool and TransformTool would be so great! Here an overview of this old plugin

ferdinand

Hey @moebius,

So, for me and for Maxime this just loads fine. I suspect you are hotlinking the wrong folder. Just unpack the zip into a folder and then hotlink that folder. E.g., MyUser\Downloads\cinema_4d_cpp_sdk_2025_0_0. When it is still not working, the only thing I could think of is that you are operating on some company device where the the admin really went buck wild with WDAC (Windows Defender Application Control) and disallowed the loading of any unsigned DLLs. Because I did not sign these DLLs.

But that is very unlikely I would say. It is more likely that you are linking the wrong folder.

Cheers,
Ferdinand

moebius

Hi!
no, does not work.
sorry for asking: did you compile it in "debug mode", not "release mode"? This was the issue with the compile a couple years ago

ferdinand

A debug build should load as much as a release build (the latter is just a quite bit faster). I quite frankly do not remember if if put this to release before I compiled, as in my daily work I usually compile debug builds. I will recompile it one more time tomorrow.

I still think you are not correctly linking the folder. Can you show us what you do?

Cheers,
Ferdinand

moebius

thanks for your patience!

btw, I did try on the office PC and my home PC.
This is the office:

ferdinand

Hm, that all looks correct and you also have no other plugins which could cause a collision, that is quite odd. I have recompiled the plugin. The plugin is still working on my machine.

Cinema_4D_CPP_SDK_2025_0_0.zip

This is again RC and unsigned.

moebius

hej, now it works!
now even in the "plugins" folder under C:/.../MAXON/Maxon Cinema 4D ...
