Hi!
I'm looking for ways to uniquely identify elements (objects, materials, tags etc.) in a scene. The "GetGUID()" function seems to be perfect for my purposes, but only applies to BaseObjects. Is there a similar way of obtaining a unique ID number for other elements?

Thanks
/Filip

Hello,

you can find some documentation on FindUniqueID() in the BaseList2D Manual.

Using MAXON_CREATOR_ID just accesses the internally stored GeMarker (see GeMarker Manual).

best wishes,

Aha, so basically it returns the data stored in the GeMarker that you can also get with GeMarker::GetMemory()? Interesting. Good to know
