Hi Guys,
Really new to C++ and the Cinema SDK. But I want to get all the selected objects in the document. This I belive can be done by doing this:

    
    
     
    
    
    
    
    AutoAlloc<AtomArray> objects; if (!objects) break;
    
    
    
    
    GetActiveDocument()->GetActiveObjects(objects, TRUE);

To me this means that all the selected elements will be stored in 'objects'. My question is how can I access the individual elements of the AtomArray so I can get the position of each object in the selection? Thanks in advance for any help

Hi, try this:
cnt= objects->GetCount(); // To get selected objects count
for(i=0;i<cnt;i++)
{
Obj =(BaseObject* )objects->GetIndex(i); // Get the first object
// you can proceed with 'Obj' to get position
}

Thanks for the reply Charles, it helped a lot. My other question now is the GetIndex() returns the index of type long for each object. So Obj would have to be declared as a long such as:

    
    
    
    
    for(int i=0; i<cnt; i++)
    
    
    
    
    {
    
    
    
    
    long Obj=(BaseObject* )objects->GetIndex(i);
    
    
    
    
    }
    
    
    
    
    How could I return each object to Obj from the provided index in the for loop? Thanks in advance.

Hi Josh,

no GetIndex(i) returns already the object (pointer) and not a LONG value. That´s why the old cast is there.

BaseObject* Obj = static_cast<BaseObject*>(objects->GetIndex(i));
