Hi @mike, I just wanted to confirm what @chuanzhen said.

For more information see the C4DAtom Manual about the dirty stuff.

Cheers,
Maxime.

@s_bach Oh, i miss a important part, thank you!

@s_bach Thank you!

@m_adam thank you for your answer😊 from the code, it similar to what i already try, but this way looks like not a perfect solution. actually after read most c4d gui sdk and write some examples, i think maybe c4d should update gui model? sometimes it not flexible. just my personal thoughts, don't mind : ) expect python 3.x and pyside2 coming : )

Hi @mike, thanks for reaching out us.

With regard to the issue reported, I confirm that it's known bug and there is no current workaround.

A bug fix will be delivered in the future.

Regard, Riccardo.

@m_adam oh，i miss this reason，thank you : )

@r_gigante Thank you for your answer! it s all fine : )

@m_magalhaes thank you : ) : ) : )

@m_magalhaes thank you for your answer 🙂

@m_magalhaes thank for your help!

@m_magalhaes Thank you for your patient answers.

@m_adam Thank your for your answer

@s_bach Thank you for your answer!

@m_magalhaes Thank you for your answer. really helpful!

@r_gigante Oh！Thank you！The plug-in ID is the reason for the problem，use another shorter number and everything is ok.

Thank your for your help!☺ ☺ ☺

Please consider to sets the topic as solved if it's the case.

Hi @everyone,

as a little disclaimer, this is my private take on this topic.

Cinema does calculate the length of a spline (at least with SplineHelp) in a rather unpretentious fashion as the sum of the Euclidean norms of the underlying LineObject segments, i.e., there is no fancy arc-length calculation going on. Which makes sense in Cinema, since the discrete LineObject is what does effectively count, and not the smooth SplineObject. Since you can get access to the LineObject of a SplineObject and also convert between SplineObject and LineObject vertex indices with SplineHelp.SplineToLineIndex() , this also means that you can both calculate the length of spline as a total and up to a specific vertex. Which then should mean that you can calculate the relative offset for a spline vertex yourself.

Practically you can cut out the SplineObject altogether when sampling a spline and just use its associated LineObject. The one nice thing that SplineHelp does for you is though, that it implements a parallel transport for the frames of spline points for you. I.e., realizes that the normals of spline points point into a direction humans would consider "correct" (mathematically these normals are not correct, due to them being modified by parallel transport, but they will look smoother, won't flip when then curvature of the spline flips).

Cheers,
Ferdinand

Thank you for your answer！@m_adam
Although object go back normal after i clicked 'Redraw' (I guess that's the reason）,it isn't make sure problem is 'refresh the viewport'. 'refresh the viewport' can also fix Priority error result .
'Shift Priority Tag' just effective Expression.It can't help.
After asking questions，i try to use Python Tag to replace 'Spline Deformer Object' ,because Python Tag have Priority.Fortunately，even though it looks very complicated, but everything become ok!

Hi Mike, please check this thread to properly use the Q&A functionality.

Hi, @mike if the previous post solves your issue, please mark it as the correct answers. It will switch the topic as solved. To do so please read Q&A functionality.
Of course, if you didn't test my previous post, or may have follow-up questions, do not mark as solved and take as much time as you need to ask us. But if there is nothing more to add please mark your topic as solved.

Cheers,
Maxime
