Dear Café,

can anyone please tell me how can I get a list of spline's point? Or iterate through points.

What I want to do is go through all point of spline and execute Diconnect command on each point but I can't figure out how to do that.

Thanks,
Sergey

Hello sergey,

did you take a look into the documentation?

def main() :  
  if not op.CheckType(c4d.Ospline) :  
      # not a spline-object  
      return  
  for point in op.GetAllPoints() :  
      # process points  
      pass

See the PointObject class for reference. Note that this is also available for Polygon-objects.

Cheers, Niklas

Hi Sergey,

SplineObject is a child class of PointObject. And there's a method GetAllPoints() in PointObject returning all the points of a a geometric object (polygon or spline).
To test this, execute this command in the console (with a spline object selected) :

op.GetAllPoints()

Many thanks to both of you!
Sorry for stupid question, I'm not a programmer, so a lot of obvious things doesn't make any sense to me
I've seen this method, and at first I thought that everything would be easy, but I have no idea what to do with it because it returns positions of points. And I can't simply do c4d.(command for disconnect) for them, because it tries to disconnect bunch of vector data, not the actual points. Maybe there's something else I don't understand?

I guess my question wasn't exactly correct, because as I understand Point methods return things like tangents or positions, but what I need is to select all points of spline turn by turn and apply disconnect.
I guess every point has it's index so basically what I have to do is something like
select(0)
for point in op.GetPointCount() :
disconnect;
select(point + 1)
but what don't seem to get is how to select a specific point.

Update: sorry for being an idiot, got it all by myslelf

Maybe you search for something like this:

import c4d
def main() :  
    selection = op.GetPointS();  
    selection.DeselectAll();  
    selection.Select(0);  
    for i in xrange(1, op.GetPointCount(), 0) :  
        #  
        # process stuff  
        #  
        selection.Deselect(i-1);  
        selection.Select(i);

Note: Written from scratch and therefore untested. Don't have access to C4D now.

Probably best to write down what you want to achieve in C4D itself

It sounds like you want to take a spline with X number of points
and go to each point in turn - running the disconnect command
thus replacing the whole spline - with individual 2 point segments

one complete spline made up of x points
spline[.-.-.-.-.-.]

same spline turned into separate 2 point segments
spline[.-. .-. .-. .-. ]

Thanks, Niklas! That was exactly what I wanted to do.

deepshade, yes, that's what I was doing. I've encountered a problem because after every 'disconnect' the index of next point I needed to disconnect has been shifting by 3, not by 1, but I figured it out. So thanks everyone!
