  Hi @intendito, first of all welcome in the plugincafe community. Unfortunately, as @cairyn said, there is no direct and easy way for doing this in Cinema 4D. Regarding your first question, this is something very general, but you can take a look for shared memory or socket. For a more possible solution, see What is the preferred way of passing data between two applications on the same system?. Finally, I would like to point you to the CameraObject Manual and the BaseDraw Manual while they will not help you that much, it's still all we have regarding this topic. So wi will leave this topic to the community, but if you have a specific Cinema 4D SDK related question, please do not hesitate and ask it. Cheers, Maxime.

  OK, I feel pretty stupid now... I was so busy with the specific way I used the script in the past, I forgot about the animation part :( So, I'll try to find some time soon to get the code up and running for animation. So my main function will be larger than "pass" :)

  Hello, Polygonize() is just using SendModelingCommand() with MCOMMAND_CURRENTSTATETOOBJECT. You can actually see the C++ source in c4d_basedocument.cpp in the cinema.framework. But I don't think that this commands merges all objects into one polygon object. best wishes, Sebastian

  @Aeoll Additional question: I'm creating a QApplication and then a QDialog but I can't seem to close the QApplication at all when the dialog is | closed? This means even when C4D is closed normally it's still running in the background and needs to be force-quit. Any | suggestions appreciated I have the same issue with PySide. You mentioned that sole this issue. Could you Help me?

  @Rage if you're looking for a solution where the user is not involved, stick to the first answer where no CallButton() was considered. On the contrary using it will request the user to interact since there are no means to programmatically interact with the UI or scripting users' actions on the UI. Best, Riccardo

  Hi Bentraje, thanks for following up and sorry for coming late here. I've checked your geometry and the issue is not with the algorithm, but in both cases with the geometries you're using to compute the area who don't shown vertexes being properly "ordered". The algorithm I've briefly presented requires the vertexes to be ordered as if you're visiting them by walking on the outer edge of your n-gon or polygon in CCW or CW. It is then mandatory to generate an ordered list of vertexes before passing the data to the function to get the correct result. In order to come out with such an ordered list I warmly recommend you to visit the following old-threads: Get all ngons PolygonObject.GetPolygonTranslationMap() Get outer edges of each Ngon Best, Riccardo

  HI Andreas, no worries, this question was not exclusively targeted at Maxon, the opposite is the case. I was hoping for some information by other users here, like @kbar or even @m_adam (back in the days Maxime was not associated with Maxon. ;)) Meanwhile, I'm going to build a toolchain and see what works for me. I'll report back here if I have something to show. That may help someone else.

  I'm trying to use this super handy plug-in to build help system for my plug-ins. Thanks for sharing this! After some days of working i have a some suggestions and bug reports. After each publishing, resulting index.html have a title tag "Plugins 4D Documentation". Is it possible to add ability inserting images with other formats like gif, jpg? Now i have to copy my images to images folder and type using markdown code like this (not showing in Preview window):  Preview window stops showing any text content if it contains symbol '–'. But after publishing results, final HTML is ok. Would be great to add ability to add favicon image.
