Hey guys.

I'm trying a little bit to automate some render-settings and takes. And I stumbled upon the inheritance behaviour of render-data. Is there a way in python to active or deactive inheritance in specific attributes of the render-data (for example I need to activate the inheritance on the frame range in the output panel)? I didn't find anything about it in the SDK

Thanks and cheers,
Phil

Take a look at this thread for inserting render data
https://developers.maxon.net/forum/topic/9898/13335_solvedcreate-new-renderdata&KW=

About take system which is global and can work on everything. Take a look at
https://github.com/PluginCafe/cinema4d_py_sdk/tree/master/scripts/takesystem
https://developers.maxon.net/docs/py/2023_2/modules/c4d.modules/takesystem/index.html?highlight=takes#module-c4d.modules.takesystem

And the C++ manual (maybe read this one firstly)
https://developers.maxon.net/docs/cpp/2023_2/page_overview_takesystem.html
https://developers.maxon.net/docs/cpp/2023_2/page_manual_takedata.html#page_manual_takedata_takes_create

If you have any others question feel free to ask

Hi 3Dpebble,

welcome to the Plugin Café forums

Unfortunately I have no good news for you. The inheritance is handled internally and can not be accessed via the API. Sorry.

Hi Andreas,

that's a pity, but thank you very much for the info.

A workaround can be to register your own MessageData plugin. Catch EVMSG_TAKECHANGED and then found your take. Get the parent take value. And assign value to your take where BaseOverride is not set.

Remember a BaseTake is a BaseList2D, so it's mean he get a BaseContainer. So you can store data into this BaseContainer for identifying your take.
