Hi,
I'm trying to get the name of the Selection. For example i've a cube and added a selection tag. changed the name from Polygon-selection to Test. The problem i got is that it always return the default name "polygon-selection".

 BaseSelect bs = st.GetBaseSelect();
                        bs.Select(0);
                        if (bs.IsSelected(0))
                        {
                            BaseTag bt = BaseTag.Alloc(C4dApi.Tpolygonselection);
                            
                            selekname = bt.GetName();
                            C4dApi.GePrint("Die eingefrorene Selektion heißt: " + bt.GetName());
                           
                        }

In the code you posted you haven't changed the tag name. I take it 'st' is a selection tag and that its name in the OM is 'Test'. Then you create another tag 'bt' of type Tpolygonselection, and then read that tag's name. Not surprisingly, the name is 'Polygon Selection' which is the default name given to tags of that type.

You either have to read st's name to get 'Test' back, or change the name of bt after you created it.

You should have changed your code...
Your code prints the name of the newly allocated SelectionTag bt. And that's the default name, you're seeing on the console. As spedler said, you probably want to print the name of st.

I did but i get the same thats why i posted the image
OK i got it

BaseObject op2 = b2.GetObjectLink(SKELETT_OBJ_AUSWAHL, doc2);
BaseTag t = op2.GetTag(C4dApi.Tpolygonselection);
and then get the name of "t "
the only problem i get now is if the object has more selectiontags and i try to get their names. C4D Crashes
I tried to use the GetNext() function and after it the GetName() again
like this

 BaseObject op2 = b2.GetObjectLink(OBJ_AUSWAHL, doc2);
                    BaseTag t = op2.GetTag(C4dApi.Tpolygonselection);
                    string selekname = t.GetName();
                    t.GetNext();
                    C4dApi.GePrint("name : "+t.GetName());
                    BaseObject j = this.wtagGlob.GetJoint(1, doc2);
                    C4dApi.GePrint("Knochenname "+j.GetName());
                    string joinName = j.GetName();

I should have added the index of the selection tag lol...
