  Quite a while ago I had brought up the idea to parse the description of an active tool (like i.e. the Extrude tool). (see https://plugincafe.maxon.net/topic/11186/confusing-tooldata-content/18). The information provided in that topic was really helpful. But now I am wondering how to to find out if this MDATA_APPLY button is disabled. EDIT: I have digged somewhat deeper in available discussions and examples, and it seems I don't really need to know the state of the MDATA_APPLY button ... but I am still curious how one would proceed to find out when that button is grayed out or not.

  Hi @delizade, thank you for reaching out to us. There are two problems with your code: You are using C4DAtom.GetClone() and GeListNode.InsertUnder() to add and clone a take. You should instead use TakeData.AddTake() which also provides a cloneFrom argument (Link for AddTake). You are cloning and inserting the main take, which leads in Python to hiccups. Because even when you do it correctly, like discussed in this thread via AddTake, it will insert a second "main take" into a document. I.e., one which has no "inherit from parent" and "default cemara/rendersettings" icons. According to one our devs, No. 2 seems to be a Python bug and not a limitation, we will investigate that. For now you would have to clone the two child takes under the main take manually in Python (and add a parent take beforehand if you want this structure). Because otherwise you will end up with two "root/main" takes in your document, confusing Cinema 4D ;) Cheers, Ferdinand

I would like to save some info to an Annotation tag, but only right before the user saves the document. Tried to put it in Message() but couldn't figure out if Message can stand by itself or if it has to be in a NodeData class? class SampleClass(plugins.NodeData) :     def Message(self, node, type, data) :         if type == c4d.MSG_DOCUMENTINFO:             if data['type'] == c4d.MSG_DOCUMENTINFO_TYPE_SAVE_BEFORE:                 print "Document is about to save"                 return True             return True Thanks
