Hi i try to add a point to a polygon objects polygon i searched through the sdk and found _ID_MODELING_POINT_ADD_TOOL. _I searched for the tooladdpoint.h i the sdk and found it.
But i dont kow the meaning of the settings that ive found:
(copy of the tooladdpoint.h)

#ifndef TOOLADDPOINT_H__
#define TOOLADDPOINT_H__

enum
{
MDATA_ADDPOINT_EDGE                                = 1100, // REAL
MDATA_ADDPOINT_CRTL               = 1101, //BOOL
MDATA_ADDPOINT_SHIFT              = 1102, //BOOL
MDATA_ADDPOINT_SPLINE             = 1103,//BOOL
MDATA_ADDPOINT_OBJINDEX           = 1104,//LONG
MDATA_ADDPOINT_POINT              = 1105,//VECTOR
MDATA_ADDPOINT_TVAL               = 1106, //REAL
MDATA_ADDPOINT_SNUM               = 1107, //LONG
MDATA_ADDPOINT_POINTMODE          = 1108,//LONG
MDATA_ADDPOINT_ELEMENTINDEX       = 1109, //LONG
MDATA_ADDPOINT_EDGEPOINTF         = 1110, //LONG
MDATA_ADDPOINT_EDGEPOINT1         = 1111, //LONG
MDATA_ADDPOINT_EDGEPOINT2         = 1112, //LONG
MDATA_ADDPOINT_POSITIONX                    = 1113,
MDATA_ADDPOINT_POSITIONY                    = 1114,
MDATA_ADDPOINT_POSITIONZ                    = 1115,
MDATA_ADDPOINT_TRI                                = 1116, //Bool
MDATA_ADDPOINT_
};

#endif // TOOLADDPOINT_H__

1. need i define all the settings if not which
2. what does MDATA_ADDPOINT_TVAL,MDATA_ADDPOINT_EDGE , MDATA_ADDPOINT_SNUM ,MDATA_ADDPOINT_OBJINDEX and MDATA_ADDPOINT_EDGEPOINTF

A littel example would be more than great:D

Hello,

you could edit the points and polygons of an poly object directly. The functions to edit the points are defined in the PointObject class, the functions to edit polygons can be found in the PolygonObject class.

You can use a tool using SendModelingCommand(). The tool you discovered is the "Create Point" tool. This tool has many different modes (a description can be found in the Cinema 4D documentation). The most simple way to add a point may be to add a point to an edge (and thus to the polygons using that edge). This can be as simple as:

  
  settings = c4d.BaseContainer()                   
  settings[c4d.MDATA_ADDPOINT_ELEMENTINDEX] = 1    
  settings[c4d.MDATA_ADDPOINT_EDGE] = 0.5   
      
  
  utils.SendModelingCommand(command = c4d.ID_MODELING_POINT_ADD_TOOL,  
                              list = [op],  
                              bc = settings,  
                              mode = c4d.MODELINGCOMMANDMODE_EDGESELECTION,  
                              doc = doc)  
  c4d.EventAdd()

where MDATA_ADDPOINT_ELEMENTINDEX defines the ID of the edge and MDATA_ADDPOINT_EDGE defines the position of the new point along that edge.
