Updating Polygon Selection Tag
-
Hi there, I'm writing a script in python & I wanted to ask how I can update a polygon selection tag (Exactly as if you call the 'Select' -> 'Set Selection' command with the polygon selection tag selected).
Basically, I am Getting the C4d.BaseSelect from the c4d.SelectionTag & altering the C4d.BaseSelect - afterwards, I want to update the c4d.SelectionTag with the changes.
Here is a very simplified sample code:
curr_sel = sel_tag.GetBaseSelect()
comp_sel = comp_tag.GetBaseSelect()
curr_sel.DeselectFrom(comp_sel)Now I would like to write my modified curr_sel back to the sel_tag Polygon Selection Tag, but I don't know how.
I am prepared to select it in the interface & use CallCommand as a last resort, but it's not very elegant & I won't be able to add undos.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi there,
since the docs say you get the selection instance by calling
GetBaseSelect()
, you simply can modify the BaseSelect and update the object accordingly.
The BaseSelect itself comes with some useful functions, like CopyTo() that may do what you want.And may I to point you to: Q/A functionality and How to post questions. It makes life easier for all, if new threads and questions are tagged and organized in a nice way.

Firstly, thanks for your reply.
Secondly, for the Q&A, it seems like the way the forum works has updated since I last used it. I will be sure to follow the correct protocol in future.Well, I just typed out a big answer & then I saw that you're right - the Polygon Selection Tags are already updated, without me having to do anything more !
Is there some message I should send to the tags for safety, like a MSG_CHANGE from the c4dAtom ?
