SetParameter(DOCUMENT_CLIPPING_PRESET does not work

camille chigot

hello, I am using the melange sdk to export to c4d files.
it looks like DOCUMENT_CLIPPING_PRESET parameter could not be set :

test:

	c4dDoc = cineware::BaseDocument::Alloc();
	{
		cineware::GeData udata;
		cineware::Bool ret = c4dDoc->SetParameter(cineware::DOCUMENT_CLIPPING_PRESET, cineware::DOCUMENT_CLIPPING_PRESET_HUGE);
		ret = c4dDoc->GetParameter(cineware::DescLevel(cineware::DOCUMENT_CLIPPING_PRESET), udata);
	}

udata correspond to a value of 1 ( MEDIUM, the default value)
I tried with other preset, same issue.

thanks in advance

hi,

the preset will not be changed but the value for near and far clip are updated.
I will talked with the dev to see why the preset isn't set.
You can use the near and far values as a workaround.

	char valuein;

	auto PrintValue = [](BaseDocument* doc)
	{
		cineware::GeData udata;
		doc->GetParameter(cineware::DescLevel(cineware::DOCUMENT_CLIPPING_PRESET_NEAR), udata);
		Float n = udata.GetFloat();
		doc->GetParameter(cineware::DescLevel(cineware::DOCUMENT_CLIPPING_PRESET_FAR), udata);
		Float f = udata.GetFloat();
		printf("value are near : %f  far %f \n\r", n, f);

	};

	BaseDocument* c4dDoc = cineware::BaseDocument::Alloc();

	if (c4dDoc != nullptr)
	{
		PrintValue(c4dDoc);
		cineware::Bool ret = c4dDoc->SetParameter(cineware::DOCUMENT_CLIPPING_PRESET, cineware::DOCUMENT_CLIPPING_PRESET_HUGE);
		PrintValue(c4dDoc);
		scanf("%c", &valuein);
	}

Cheers,
Manuel

right but when I load my document inside C4d ( R20 or R22), the clipping preset is medium and the clipping near and far are wrong ( back to medium)
