Hi, I'm trying to retrieve the world coordinates of a point on the XZ ground plane, while in perspective view, that my mouse is over. What would be a good way to go about achieving this. I've tried basedraw->SW() but haven't been able to work out a method of calculating the value I would need for the z coordinate of the argument.TIA

I solved it by doing Ray, Plane intersection test. If anyone has a better way of doing this please feel free to chime in.
Cheers.

Just use SW() with 500.0. This value is used internally by most tools in CINEMA 4D.
For instance, from the liquidtool.cpp example.
bd->SW(Vector(mx,my,500.0)cheers,

Hi Matthias, I need to retrieve the x and z world coordinates when y = 0 so a constant won't work if I understand how the function works. I also want to be able to do this for XY and ZY planes.
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply Matthias. This is actually what I ended up doing but in a slightly different way.
Cheers.
