Moving to points mode
needs a call to
c4d.CallCommand(12139)

Q: if you want to do the same thing but with a key modifier - CTRL

is there any 'easy' way to do this?

ie go from a poly or edge selection - and convert that straight to a point selection?

I'm not sure if I understand you correctly.
But it sounds like you might want to use the convert tool with SMC.

Here's an example that will select the edges around the selected polygons.
The advantage to doing it this way- VS.- using the CallCommand() is you don't have to switch into edge mode first to select the edges.

import c4d  
from c4d import utils  
  
def main() :  
      obj = doc.GetActiveObject()    
      bc = c4d.BaseContainer()  
      bc.SetData(c4d.MDATA_CONVERTSELECTION_LEFT, 2)        #ConvertSelection's Left "Polygons" option in memory  
      bc.SetData(c4d.MDATA_CONVERTSELECTION_RIGHT, 1)       #ConvertSelection's Right "Edges" option in memory  
      bc.SetData(c4d.MDATA_CONVERTSELECTION_TOLERANT, True) #Select the selection->ConvertSelection's "Tolerant" option in memory  
      utils.SendModelingCommand(c4d.MCOMMAND_CONVERTSELECTION, list = [obj], mode = c4d.MODIFY_ALL, bc=bc, doc = doc)      
  
if __name__=='__main__':  
  main()

Don't understand the 'right' 'left' thing Scott
but I bet if I dig in the SDK it will become clear

bottom line - just trying to get from a poly selection..... straight to the equivalent point selection

ie like Tool change - PLUS - CNTRL KEY

will give your code a spin later

In R12: in the top menu go to->Selection->And select the Convert Selection Tool
Or In R13: in the top menu go to->Select->And select the Convert Selection Tool

The window that pops up has options on the left & right to convert the selected edges,polys,points to being selected in a different mode. Just like when you hold down the Ctrl key.

That's what those right and left comments are referring to.

but it doesn't seem to work.
Is there something that have change in how python works?

def main() :
      obj = doc.GetActiveObject()
      bc = c4d.BaseContainer()
      bc.SetData(c4d.MDATA_CONVERTSELECTION_LEFT, 2)        #ConvertSelection's Left "Polygons" option in memory

      bc.SetData(c4d.MDATA_CONVERTSELECTION_TOLERANT, True) #Select the selection->ConvertSelection's "Tolerant" option in memory
      utils.SendModelingCommand(c4d.MCOMMAND_CONVERTSELECTION, list = [obj], mode = c4d.MODIFY_ALL, bc=bc, doc = doc)

if __name__=='__main__':
main()

Works here as expected. Where's the problem? What tells the console output?

I'm quite new to python. At first I was perplexed when it didn't change to the mode as when I use the Convert selection Window. But I see now that i need an extra part in the script to do that. I those have shortcuts set up in COFFEE

CallCommand(200000083); // Live Selection
CallCommand(16351); // Edges

How can I get this scripts to work in Python?
