HelloIs there a way to retrieve an array of only visible points of selected object in scene view?
Just like e.g. standard selection tool is able to select only visible polys/points, I am looking for a way to do the same thing from code but for the entire object. -

Hi and Welcome to the Plugin Cafe forums!
The class ViewportSelect gives the information needed to obtain an object's visible points.
Call ViewportSelect::Init() with op set to the selected object and onlyvisible set to true.
Then use ViewportSelect::GetPixelInfoPoint() with each pixel coordinate of the view and check if the object for the pixel (ViewportPixel::op) is the active object. If true retrieve the point index (ViewportPixel::i) and process the next pixel. -

If point is smaller than a pixel the point is not selected (that also happend with c4d selection tool) is there a workaround?

Thank you Yannick, I was hoping there is a nice class that offers a method to achieve this. It's exactly what I needed to make things work! ****

This is a limitation of ViewportSelect class.

Thanks for the answer. It's very sad. I hope it will be "fixed".
