  Ahhhh thanks! I couldn't find an Array Manual in the R18 documentation. I was going like this: maxon::PointerArray<MyCustomClass> myPointerArr = NewObj(maxon::PointerArray<MyCustomClass>); DoStuffWithArray(myPointerArr); DeleteObj(myPointerArr); It seems my problem was with the PointerArray taking ownership of my pointers, then deallocating them before I was done with them. Since it doesn't seem that R18 has maxon::UniqueRef objects I decided to go with a maxon::BaseArray<MyCustomClass*> instead. Thanks again for your help Sebastian!

  @m_adam said in Force update interface of the plugin: Regarding advice from @mp5gosu, MSG_CHANGE is only needed when the structure of the object change (you change the count of point for example) since SetParemeter will automatically increase the dirty count of an object is not needed in your case. Sorry, I actually meant EventAdd().

  @a_block Thank You so much Andreas ! I would like to try all the suggested approaches and hopefully I'll get my issue resolved (except second option is out of my context as I can't use another application). Third potion seems to be the best suited option and I would like to give it a try. Thanks Again...!

  Hi, actually this is not a bug, but a design decision. Here at MAXON we have a pretty large code base and especially disabled code branches tend to age a lot faster. So we try to force developers to also maintain such code pieces or to at least think about, if they are still valuable and otherwise remove and thus cleanup the code base. Cheers, Andreas

  R19: SplitPolygon and Ngon indices

  @r_gigante Thank you very much for your help, Riccardo! The suggested method of calculating the ngon index works fine with the Modeling::SplitPolygon() function, but functions like Modeling::GetEdgeNgons() sometimes return unexpected indices, which seem to be based on a different logic. I have updated the demo plugin and also included an image (NgonIndexProblem.png) in the zip file, which explains the problem: https://files.frankwilleke.de/index.php/s/EpGg1TkdzIemWJl In this case Modeling::GetEdgeNgons() and Modeling::GetPointNgons() returns indices which seem to be a confusing mix of ngon and polygon indices (or indices with and without offsets). Do you have any more ideas? Thanks in advance, Tim

  Hi, The Test tag plugin is missing in the linked c4d file but I see the behavior with another tag plugin (Py-LookAtCamera SDK example). I was wrong in my previous post. This behavior of the Attribute Manager is applied to tags that can be added only once to an object. This can't be done for tags that can be added multiple times. Unfortunately the Python tag is registered with TAG_MULTIPLE flag so it can be added multiple times to an object but the parameter tab isn't attached to its parent object.

  @mike No need to apologize, we are all new here. No worries. Especially during the starting phase of this new forum, we try to point even at small issues, hoping it will lead to a cleaner forum in future.

  "actually, you can still multiply in one line. You just have to multiply a matrix with a vector:..." D'oh! I'm surprised that I didn't try that - tho it doesn't seem as intuitive ("vector = some other vector, being modified by some operations" vs. "vector = a matrix, imposing/operating on some vector", etc.)... do you know why the Vector lost so many direct operators (* other Vector (Dot()), * Matrix, % other Vector (Cross()) - there may be others)? Apparently, you can still '!v' to normalize it (yay), even tho there's a v.Normalize() call... and I can understand why the "Identity Matrix" operator might have changed from '!' to '~'... some of the other changes just seem a bit arbitrary. I've already made all the changes at this point, but thanks for the tip/reply - I'll keep that in mind for future reference. Cheers.

  Thanks for the responses guys... I think I've found a virtual solution/work-around for the time-being. Cheers.
