Hi!

I try to write a short script in cinema 4d R14 in Python.
I want to get the size of an object in a c4d scene (Polygon Object). For that I used:

bc = obj.GetDataInstance()
bc.GetVector(c4d.PRIM_CUBE_LEN)

The Output is always (0,0,0) and I dont know why. I am not sure, if c4d.PRIM_CUB_LEN is the size of the bounding box but I could not find something else than that.
Would be cool if someone has a clue/ idea

Hello and welcome,

PRIM_CUBE_LEN[URL-REMOVED] is a parameter of a parametric cube object. So you won't find this parameter in a polygon object's BaseContainer[URL-REMOVED].

The size of an object's bounding box is returned by GetRad()[URL-REMOVED], it's center by GetMp()[URL-REMOVED].

best wishes,
Sebastian

If the object's size changes (e.g., animated spline), how do I get the size for each frame without stepping through the animation frame range?
Do I need to change the scene frame?

Thanks,

Hello,

you can animate a single object using AnimateObject(). Then you can get the object's bounding box. If the state of the object does not only depend on its own animation but also on other components like expressions you have to animate the while document using ExecutePasses().
