  Hi Manuel and @rb_rodrigo, Many thanks for the tips about the Python console and help with the code. I'm a beginner (not even that!) in scripting, so much appreciated. It works as expected now! Cheers, Frederik

  You could also retrieve the current matrix of the gizmo with BaseObject.GetModelingAxis. Cheers, Maxime

  Hi @Muokkaa, unfortunately, I wasn't able to reproduce, so I suggest you send a bug report with a file to the user support https://support.maxon.net/open.php. This forum is about SDK and plugin development for Cinema 4D, no general Cinema 4D support. Cheers, Maxime.

  Hi, @lasselauch as a rule of thumb with Python2.7 always store data as a Unicode string. Control your IO which means, for each, Input make sure you know the encoding in all cases by always calling .decode('utf-8') so you are sure to store a Unicode value and get an error if something went wrong at a loading time. Then output the content according to your need some need ASCII, some can work with unicode, but do the conversion on the fly, don't touch you stored Unicode data. For the francophone people, there is this fabulous article about unicode Encoding in Python for English I guess the best I found on this topic is A Guide to Unicode, UTF-8, and Strings in Python. Cheers, Maxime.

  Just to add on top, os.path.listdir and os.path.join in python 2 are context-specific, so if you input a Unicode string it will output a Unicode string, if you input a regular string it will output a regular string. Now the culprit is on c4d.documents.MergeDocument because normally this method accepts a C++ Filename object (which is the Classic API that under the hood uses the new MaxonAPI maxon::Url). Unfortunately, the Python parser is not able to convert from a Python Unicode string to a C++ Filename, but only from a Python ASCII string to a filename. So indeed casting from Unicode string to ASCII is the solution. Cheers, Maxime.

  Hey Richard! Thank you for the response, I have VS2017 version 15.9 all set up now, I think..... haha. I can see all the solutions in VS as well, but I ran the powersheel commands without having 2017 installed and I could see them in 2019, do I need to re-run the command or is it on the compile side that 2017 is the right version? I've been reading through all that documentation and I have seen the resources on Git as well so thanks for helping me understand I'm looking in the right spots haha! Thanks for the help so far, I'm sure I'll be back soon with more questions haha! Cheers! MattG

  @zipit Thanks,this paper Parallel Transport Approach to Curve Framing I will follow your suggestion to explore RMF. It may be that the language barrier prevents us from communicating well, but I still get a lot of help from your answer. I use Google translate

  Hello and welcome to the forum, For your next threads, please help us keeping things organised and clean. I know it's not your priority but it really simplify our work here. Q&A New Functionality. How to Post Questions especially the tagging part. I've added marked this thread as a question so when you considered it as solved, please change the state :) In your code you Resize the object after initialized for the modeling command. That's why. but probably a simpler way to achieve what you want is to access the polygon's data. The PolygonObject is inherit from PointObject where you can retrieve the pointer of the points' vectors with GetPointW sometthing like so will work Vector* padr{ pol->GetPointW() }; if (padr == nullptr) return maxon::NullptrError(MAXON_SOURCE_LOCATION); padr[3] = Vector(-2, 0, 0); You can have a look at our "roundtube" example in the sdk.zip file that ship with every Cinema 4D version. This example will show you how to create a primitive from scratch. Cheers, Manuel.
