Hi 3D Designer.

Thing is, I HAVE moved them to another spot in the 3D world. But the spline doesn't show in the viewport, nor does any of the control points.

It's fine if I create the spline object with default point count in the constructer, but after I Resize it, all points just dissappear.

did you call oSpline->Message(MSG_CHANGE); ? This is always necessary when modifying pointdata.

Yeah, I tried that

This is the full code that i'm trying to work

  
     // Find Spline Object (This object is a empty spline)  
     SplineObject *oSpline = (SplineObject* )hh->GetDocument()->SearchObject("Spline");  
     if(!oSpline) return NULL;  
  
     // Resize the Spline to have 10 points  
     oSpline->ResizeObject(10,1);  
  
     // Move the points  
     for(LONG i=0; i < 10; i++)  
     {  
          Vector *vadr = oSpline->GetPoint();  
          vadr _= Vector(0.0,0.0,i*50.0);  
     }  
       
     oSpline->Message(MSG_UPDATE);

The thing that confuses me is that the points seem to be there (even though I can't see them), but I cannot access them with any of the C4D tools. Using live selection tool for example, actually highlights the points, but as soon as I release the mouse button, they de-select themselves

Hi,

your code seems to be a bit wrong. It should look like this:

SplineObject *oSpline = (SplineObject* )hh->GetDocument()->SearchObject("Spline");  
     if(!oSpline) return NULL;  
  
     // Resize the Spline to have 10 points  
     oSpline->ResizeObject(10,1);  
      **oSpline- >Message(MSG_CHANGE);** //Call it after resizing  
     // Move the points  
      **Vector *vadr = oSpline- >GetPoint();** //Get points already here (performance)  
     for(LONG i=0; i < 10; i++)  
     {  
          vadr **[ i ]** = Vector(0.0,0.0,i*50.0); //Missing index  
     }

oSpline->Message(MSG_UPDATE);

It was a bit wrong because i typed it up and was rushing

the only difference I did was I didnt do the message after resize. will try that next!

Howdy,

I know this may look wrong but try changing your resize line to this:

oSpline->ResizeObject(10,0);

Adios,

THANK YOU!

I thought it was me going crazy. Everything I tried wouldn't, but I never imagined resizing the spline with 0 segments would of worked.

Thanks for your help people, works a charm

Howdy,

I struggled for a long time with the same thing. One segment seemed more logical to me, but then I did a GetSegmentCount() beforehand and printed the result and it displayed the number 0.

Adios,

Actually, I started using it like this:

LONG seg = oSpline- >GetSegmentCount();
oSpline->ResizeObject(10, seg);

That way I avoid any confusion on my part.

Yeah, but it´s anyway not really logical. It´s plausible that if it is no multi-segment spline the count is unnecessary and is set to 0 but it would be more logical if one had to pass 1.

Anyway, I am not using this at all but always use the VariableChanged class, so I haven´t gotten into this problem yet either.

Howdy,

Hey, thanks for the tip. I wasn't aware of that class. It looks like a good one to know.

Adios,
