Hey @m_adam ,

Thanks for your help. It works now.

However, I'm wondering how I would have known that I needed to set the scaffold ID to the node. The documentation doesn't seem to explicitly mention this step. I might be wrong, but for someone without strong knowledge of the API, I'd never thought that way. I would rather added the selected nodes to a group, as this is what a scaffol is. Does that make sense?

As a side note, after adding the nodes to the scaffold group, they appear messy, actually the nodes are nicely arranged inside the group, but the scaffold is overlapping other nodes. This is likely related to the bug we discussed here: https://developers.maxon.net/forum/post/73446. Am I right?

Cheers

Hi sadly no news, except we kind of know the issue, sadly this issue is somehow by design and will require an architectural change.

While we still want to fix this issue, everything is about priority and this is not a urgent priority at the moment so I can't tell you when it will be fixed. But it's on our list.
Cheers,
Maxime.

Hey @danielsian,

Yes, a tree view could be another solution, another one could be a GeUserArea. I deliberately did not mention both options since they are more complex. Especially TreeViewFunctions, the underlying interface for tree views, tends to be overwhelming for newcomers. I would recommend the dynamic UI workflow hinted at above, as this will result in the least amount of code. But it will of course not be as beautiful as something truly custom.

Cheers,
Ferdinand

You are master!
thanks my friend, it's working!

@ferdinand Thank you for your awesome explanation!
I will keep this post as a reference for my studies as your approach seems a bit complicated for my understanding at the moment.
I'm learning a lot with your contribution in this forum, and in this case here it's not gonna be different.
Cheers

Great!

I know this is an old topic, but just for the record...

The same thing seems to happen on macOS as well (Cinema 4D R21.207, macOS Catalina 10.15.3).

If xpos and ypos are -2 (i.e. show the dialog in the middle of the screen), and pluginID is not given as parameter, the dialog dimensions are about half of what they're supposed to be. If a pluginID is given, dialog dimensions are correct.
