Can you create a polygon object from a file(Text file)
if I have the polygon structure of a object and put it in a Text File, can I recreate it with python from that Text File.
Is this even possible ???? -

Of course, read the file with all the information and create the object based on that input.
E.g. a cube shaped object could be like:
recube = c4d.BaseObject(c4d.Opolygon) recube.ResizeObject(8,6) #8 vertexes (points) and 6 polygones recube.SetPoint(0,vertex1) recube.SetPoint(1,vertex2) recube.SetPoint(2,vertex3) recube.SetPoint(3,vertex4) recube.SetPoint(4,vertex5) recube.SetPoint(5,vertex6) recube.SetPoint(6,vertex7) recube.SetPoint(7,vertex8) recube.SetPolygon(0,c4d.CPolygon(0,1,2,3)) recube.SetPolygon(1,c4d.CPolygon(4,5,1,0)) recube.SetPolygon(2,c4d.CPolygon(7,6,5,4)) recube.SetPolygon(3,c4d.CPolygon(3,2,6,7)) recube.SetPolygon(4,c4d.CPolygon(1,5,6,2)) recube.SetPolygon(5,c4d.CPolygon(0,4,7,3)) recube.Message (c4d.MSG_UPDATE) -

I think I can explain better: _<_img src="http://www.c4dcafe.com/ipb/public/style_emoticons/default/oops.gif" border="0" alt=":oops:" title=":oops:" /_>_
I want to do these steps in python:
1] Create a empty polygon
2] Import the points from a ASCII File
3] Import the polygons from a ASCII FileBasically build the object from these steps in python
I see you can almost achieve this with call commands
import c4d
#Welcome to the world of Pythondef main() :
c4d.CallCommand(13039) # Empty Polygon Object
c4d.CallCommand(12530) # Points mode in Structure
c4d.CallCommand(13018) # Import ASCII Data (Points)
c4d.CallCommand(12532) # Polygons mode in Structure
c4d.CallCommand(13018) # Import ASCII Data (Polygons)if __name__=='__main__':
main() -

Ok, here a small example how to read ascii data.

One for points and one for the polys.
I got these files by exporting a cube data to these files.
Later I edited the files, to add some ",".
But you can choose the format you want.Point file:
Point X Y Z 0, -100, -100 , -100 1, -100 , 100 , -100 2, 100, -100 , -100 3, 100 , 100 , -100 4, 100 , -100 , 100 5, 100 , 100, 100 6, -100, -100, 100 7, -100 , 100 , 100Polygon file:
Polygon A B C D 0, 0, 1, 3, 2 1, 2, 3, 5, 4 2, 4, 5, 7, 6 3, 6, 7, 1, 0 4, 1, 7, 5, 3 5, 6, 0, 2, 4 -
