@C4DS maybe use scenehook detect tool switch, and trigger tool "messgae" to free mybaseobject is a better way ?it can avoid the crash,and tool also work normally

Thanks for the detailed answer. And yes, I guess my approach is way to simple. However, I use the normal of the polygon to place the plane and getting the minimal width and height, best fits a planar polygon. "The point order is arbitrary. I'm not sure why you expect the points to start in a certain corner?" For consistency I would expect the points to be in a predefined sequence. Now it seems randomly (clockwise, anti clockwise, were is point a located?).

Hi @bentraje, since you rotate the axis (with SetMg) you also need to update the tangents according to the correct axis since tangents are in local space of points positions which are also in local space of the object. But as you figured is more rigging than a programming issue. And if you already solve the issue congratz! Cheers, Maxime.

Hi @blastframe, I can only confirm what's @mp5gosu said, and confirm that c4dpy is a complete Cinema 4D executable, just opened as a python interpreter mode. So nothing to do here, unfortunately. Cheers, Maxime.

Hello, sorry for the delay, I have to dive a bit in the code. The TextSpline only use GetContour() while Mograph Text only use GetVirtualObject() The object Text Spline always return a single spline with segments. (even if PRIM_TEXT_SEPARATE is true) But : When you use "MakeEditable", there's a special case, if it's Osplinetext and PRIM_TEXT_SEPARATE is true, it does regenerate the spline and this time it return a hierarchy. In your GetContour(), if you return something else than a SplineObject (by casting the object), Cinema4D will crash. (it need function specific to a spline) and as we already know, it doesn't take into account the hierarchy. On the extrude you can activate the "hierarchical". (and now we know the text spline always return a single spline it does make sense you only need this option when you edit the object) About your project, something you can have a look into is Mesh Attributes and DataType If you create your own "merge" function you can be in charge to also copy / paste point information stored there. Cheers Manuel

@m_adam I did hear back from Maxon Support about this who said this is a known bug with UVs that may be fixed in future updates. I, unfortunately, didn't have the time to pursue all three methods you're suggesting but I will when I have the time. For the task I'm trying to automate, I am currently using scripts for the connecting and splitting while manually Realigning the UVs. Rather than tracking point IDs or positions, I'm outright replacing the original geometry with the Split geometry. It's clunky and takes more time, but it works. Hopefully I can script the Connect and Split soon as you suggested. I will definitely reach out when I do! Sorry, what is CRC?

@m_adam said in Pycharm - Invalid Python SDK: Hi, @blastframe thanks for contact us. So far we never encounter this issue and we are not able to reproduce it so few ideas to try: Make sure you have permission to write in the Cinema 4D folder and subfolder. Flush the cache, https://stackoverflow.com/a/45099651. Send us your PyCharm log, see https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/207241085-Locating-IDE-log-files Cheers, Maxime. Hi @m_adam, Thank you for the reply. I ran PyCharm as an Administrator and flushed the cache. I still received the same error. When I looked at the log, I found a lot of missing file errors, which made me think I had the python.exe (c4dpy.exe) file in the wrong location. When I moved the file to the same folder as the R20 .exe, PyCharm started working. I was confused about the file location because, while in the Install instructions from the C4D Python SDK Documentation has the c4dpy in the C4D folder, this image made it seem like it could exist in a separate folder: I would have expected a file location similar to the default Windows location: C:\Program Files\MAXON\Cinema 4D R20\python.exe Thank you again. I have one follow-up question that I'll ask as a new topic.

@m_adam Gotcha. Work as expected. Thanks for the response. Have a great day ahead!

@m_magalhaes Thanks,i will try to use C++

Any news? I turned your topic as solved, but feel free to ask questions, or bump it again if you need it. Cheers, Maxime.

@Ogers said in Change LONG_CYCLE selected Item.: I am creating a CUSTOMGUI_CYCLE with my own attributes using getDDescription function Thanks Its Nice

Again sorry, I've tested with the Studio version. Using C4DPL_PROGRAM_STARTED case I can confirm this "bug" with a Educational version and a Demo version. Not with the Studio version. Maybe something with that extra "popup" windows on those both versions. Cheers Manuel.

Thank YOU :-)

Hi @indexofrefraction, unfortunately, TexBox is still not supported in Python. As you can see in this topic from the old forum https://plugincafe.maxon.net/topic/9959/13411_shaderlink--texbox-in-gedialog-/ With that's said I will raise the priority of this class on our todo list. But so far I can't promise you anything. Cheers, Maxime.

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.

Hi @blieque, first of all welcome in the plugincafe community. Since it's your first topic, nothing harmful, but please for your next topic, read and apply the next rules (I've done it for this post, again no worry.) Q&A New Functionality. How to Post Questions especially about tagging. Regarding your question, Generator and Effector do have a generic enable state. That can be defined as @bentraje by accessing directly the parameter or either with BaseObject.SetDeformMode method. For tags, there is no generic way since not all tags can be deactivated (e.g compositing tag) but for the others, you will have to directly link the parameter. To know the symbols that represent symbols you can simply drag and drop it to the console. For more information see Console Drag & Drop Manual. If you have any questions, please let me know. Cheers, Maxime.

@m_magalhaes thank you : ) : ) : )

Hello, nothing more to add here except that we confirm and thanks @C4DS for his answer. Cheers Manuel

Hi @pim, does the solution provided is ok for you? EDIT: I turned it into solved but please feel free to open it again if you need to.

Since no news, I mark it as solved (closed), but feel free to open it again.
