  Hi @blastframe unfortunately for the moment is not possible to implement its own logger in python. However, you could use any existing loggers. Here an example that writes into the Application (Default) Logger. import maxon txt = "My Wonderfull Text" defaultLogger = maxon.Loggers.Default() defaultLogger.Write(maxon.TARGETAUDIENCE.ALL, txt, maxon.MAXON_SOURCE_LOCATION(1), maxon.WRITEMETA.DEFAULT) Note that the print simply reroutes to the Python logger. But it can be useful to directly use the logger to write if you pass the write meta maxon.WRITEMETA.UI_SYNC_DRAW this way you can force a redraw of the console (slower) after each print, this can be used to avoid the limitation mentioned in the second part of this post. Cheers, Maxime

  @PluginStudent Thanks for the idea of how to solve this! I was doing what you described before posting my example, but probably making it too complicated. The documentation for the Link gadget describes the pointer LINKBOX_ACCEPT_MESSAGE_ACCEPT as 'A pointer to a boolean value. Set this value to true to accept the object.' so that sounded like what I needed. I've rewritten the approach you described and have it seemingly working.

  Hi @chakuew0, plugincafe is only a support for Cinema 4D API and SDK, and I don't see in any way how your question is related to the API, but more an issue within Cinema 4D. So please contact the Cinema 4D support for all no related API questions in this page. Cheers, Maxime.

  Hi @JohnThomas thanks for the follow-up. I see the point, but when you're dealing with uniform splines you've also to consider the number of intermediate points you're using to approximate the natural spline. With a natural parametrization even with a low number of points the vertexes position returned from SplineHelp::GetPosition() are accurate, whilst with a uniform parametrization you get higher accuracy as long as you increase the number of points. See the data below, where first coordinate is the position returned by the SplineHelp::GetPosition and the second coordinate is returned by quering the points vector PointsObject::GetPointR() Natural_4 [4, 2123.461, BEZIER, 1] 0 [0/0], 0.000[0.000] --> (200.000,0.000,0.000) -- (200.000,0.000,0.000) 1 [17/0], 0.250[530.865] --> (0.000,700.000,0.000) -- (0.000,700.000,0.000) 2 [34/0], 0.500[1061.731] --> (-200.000,0.000,0.000) -- (-200.000,0.000,0.000) 3 [51/0], 0.750[1592.596] --> (0.000,-200.000,0.000) -- (0.000,-200.000,0.000) Uniform_4 [4, 2107.332, BEZIER, 2] 0 [0/0], 0.000[0.000] --> (200.000,0.000,0.000) -- (200.000,0.000,0.000) 1 [7/0], 0.350[737.566] --> (4.370,699.695,0.000) --> (0.000,700.000,0.000) 2 [14/0], 0.700[1475.132] --> (-199.849,8.692,0.000) -- (-200.000,0.000,0.000) 3 [17/0], 0.850[1791.232] --> (-4.394,-199.953,0.000) -- (0.000,-200.000,0.000) Uniform_16 [4, 2107.332, BEZIER, 2] 0 [0/0], 0.000[0.000] --> (200.000,0.000,0.000) -- (200.000,0.000,0.000) 1 [7/0], 0.350[737.566] --> (4.370,699.695,0.000) -- (0.000,700.000,0.000) 2 [14/0], 0.700[1475.132] --> (-199.849,8.692,0.000) -- (-200.000,0.000,0.000) 3 [17/0], 0.850[1791.232] --> (-4.394,-199.953,0.000) -- (0.000,-200.000,0.000) Uniform_128 [4, 2124.555, BEZIER, 2] 0 [0/0], 0.000[0.000] --> (200.000,0.000,0.000) -- (200.000,0.000,0.000) 1 [182/0], 0.353[749.359] --> (-1.373,699.970,0.000) -- (0.000,700.000,0.000) 2 [363/0], 0.703[1494.600] --> (-199.996,1.279,0.000) -- (-200.000,0.000,0.000) 3 [440/0], 0.853[1811.636] --> (1.380,-199.995,0.000) -- (0.000,-200.000,0.000) If no further help is needed please don't forget to set the thread as Solved.

  hello, I've lookied into the live selection tool and internally it's using GetPixelInfoPolygon, or the equivalent for point and edges. You also have Get<xxx>PixelBuffer where <xxx> is Point, Edge or Polygon. That return the internal buffer constructed inside the Init function of the ViewportSelect Class. pixelBuffer[ width*y + x] will give you the right pixel on that buffer. Sorry to have missed those functions. Cheers, Manuel
