I was able to solve it by searching the DescID in the Cloner Description with the Inheritance Name.

Hi,

I am tasked with creating programmatically splines with no visible lines between the points.
From the GUI I know I can create a spline with the Spline Pen or an already created spline and then delete the lines between the points using the Break Segment function. However, I don't know where to find any information on how to use the Break Segment from Python or any other option to achieve the same result of a spline without lines connecting the points.

Any help is appreciated.

Regards,
Joel

@ferdinand
May I send you the project file and executable via a private channel?

@ferdinand
Thank you for your reply.
As of right now, I am executing all passes as I do not know for sure which passes I need.
As I said I need the position and the base object color of sphere objects that follow a cloner. And this cloner has movements and colors set by inheritances.

I have these spheres in a null so my code works in this manner (note I have two arrays for frames one for position and another for color as sometimes are different):

null_spheres = doc.SearchObject('Spheres')

spheres_names = []
spheres_loc = []
spheres_col = []

frame_start = 0
frame_end = 12000
project_fps = 24

for i in null_spheres.GetChildren():
  spheres_names.append(i.GetName())
  spheres_loc.append([])
  spheres_col.append([])

frames_loc = list(range(frame_start, frame_end+1, project_fps))
frames_col = list(range(frame_start, frame_end+1, project_fps))

doc.SetTime(c4d.BaseTime(frame_start, project_fps))
doc.ExecutePasses(None, True,  True, True, c4d.BUILDFLAGS_NONE)

for frame_col in frames_col:
   t = c4d.BaseTime(frame_col, project_fps)
   doc.SetTime(t)
   doc.ExecutePasses(None, True, True, True, c4d.BUILDFLAGS_NONE)
   for index, sphere in enumerate(spheres_names):
      op = doc.SearchObject(sphere)
      col = op[c4d.ID_BASEOBJECT_COLOR]
      spheres_col[index].append([col.x, col.y, col.z])
      if frame_col in frames_loc:
         pos = op.GetMg().off
         spheres_loc[index].append([pos.x, pos.y, pos.z])

As of right now, the number of spheres is around 200 but it will increase to 500 so I want to try and speed up this process as much as possible.

Hi,

I have a project where the Python scripts must gather information, like the position and color, of certain objects at all frames.
As of right now, I am using SetTime and ExecutePasses. This action of SetTime ExecutePasses takes 0.13 seconds however my projects have 12000 frames therefore just the information gathering takes 26 minutes.
Is there a way to speed up this prosses?

Thank you for your time.

Creating an instance for each subdialog solved the issue thank you so much.

I tried using the subdialog as the github example shows. If I just want to do one subdialog change the github example that @mogh posted works just find. However when I add another button so I can switch between the subdialogs the Dialog does not update.

The code I used is a bit modified from the github but more or less the same:

import c4d
from c4d import gui

ID_SUBDIALOG = 10000
ID_Dialog1_BUTTON = 10001
ID_Dialog2_BUTTON = 10002

class Dialog1(c4d.gui.SubDialog):
    def CreateLayout(self):
        self.AddStaticText(1, c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT, 0, 0, "Dialog 1")
        return True

class Dialog2(c4d.gui.SubDialog):
    def CreateLayout(self):
        self.AddStaticText(1, c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT, 0, 0, "Dialog 2")
        return True

class MainDialog(c4d.gui.GeDialog):
    subDialog = Dialog1()
    
    def CreateLayout(self):
        self.GroupBegin(0, c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT, 2)
        self.AddButton(ID_Dialog1_BUTTON, c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT, name="Dialog1")
        self.AddButton(ID_Dialog2_BUTTON, c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT, name="Dialog2")
        self.GroupEnd()
        
        self.AddSubDialog(ID_SUBDIALOG, c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT, 100, 100)
        self.AttachSubDialog(self.subDialog, ID_SUBDIALOG)
        
        return True
    
    def Command(self, mid, msg):
        if mid == ID_Dialog1_BUTTON:
            self.subDialog = Dialog1()
            self.AttachSubDialog(self.subDialog, ID_SUBDIALOG)
            print(self.LayoutChanged(ID_SUBDIALOG))
        if mid == ID_Dialog2_BUTTON:
            self.subDialog = Dialog2()
            self.AttachSubDialog(self.subDialog, ID_SUBDIALOG)
            print(self.LayoutChanged(ID_SUBDIALOG))
        return True

if __name__=='__main__':
    dlg = MainDialog()
    dlg.Open(c4d.DLG_TYPE_ASYNC, defaultw=900, xpos=-2, ypos=-2)

When I click the buttons the first button click from either button the LayoutChanged returns True but on the second button click from either button returns False.

What am I doing wrong?

Hi,
I have two dialogs in different python scripts and I would like to join them in a single python script so the user via buttons can choose what dialog to show.

I tried searching the forums as well as reading the documentation but I have not been able to find a starting guide to solve this issue.

Does anyone have an idea how I could achieve a solution to this problem?

Thanks so much for your time.

@ferdinand Thank you so much. Adding:

inheritance1.Message(c4d.MSG_MEUPREPARE, doc)

Solved the issue.

@ferdinand Thank you so much, looking forward to your reply.

@ferdinand Is the information that I have provided sufficient?
