@m_adam said in PolygonObject.SetSelectEdges() and the Neighbor() class, a giant dilemma: ... Hope it answers your questions, Cheers, Maxime Thank you Maxime, this is a lot of useful info. Let me think through all of this and reply here if I have any further issues.

Hi @daniell welcome on the plugincafe forum, Don't worry since it's your first post, I've set up it correctly but please for the next one, make sure to read and apply the next rules: Q&A New Functionality. How to Post Questions especially tagging. Finally, regarding your issue, you may find relevant the NodeData::GetDParameter() Manual and NodeData::SetDParameter() Manual. Cheers, Maxime.

hi, without any feedback from you, I'll set this thread as solved tomorrow Cheers, Manuel

Hi the CallCommand is the correct way to go. And @Cairyn it's in the Snap module because it uses some logic that is already implemented in the snap module such as the enabling state or other internal parameters storage logic. So using the CallCommand make sure everything is setup correctly. Note that in the end the solo things are only setting/clearing the NBIT_EHIDE of objects. Cheers, Maxime.

Hi @lasselauch there is actually no plan to update ResEdit. There is the R20 Resource Editor but for the moment it's only for Node stuff. Cheers, Maxime.

Thanks for the drag'n'drop tip Maxime, that feature is extremely useful!

hello, I will consider this thread as solved without new information from you :) Cheers, Manuel

Hi Kantronin, thanks for reaching out us and welcome to PluginCafé. To make Cinema 4D programatically executing modeling commands, you can make use of SendModelingCommand which properly satisfy your scope. Aside from the example shown in the documentation you can also have a look at this post from @maxime and this other post about Optimize command. Last but not least be aware that the modeling command settings are specified in the BaseContainer passed to the SendModelingCommand and whose parameters can be found in the MCOMMAND page. Finally please remind to use Tags and Ask as a question for any future support entries

Hi @turrican welcome in the plugincafe community. I moved your topic in the correct category and assigned tags, see (How to Post Questions) Please do it for your next topics. Regarding your question, yes it's possible to do it in python. however, I suggest you contact maxon support to report the initial bug regarding the FBX importer. Now you have to keep in mind here we don't code for you but help you to achieve what you want. So the steps in python for doing it are: Loops over each material. Retrieves their name. Create a Bitmap Shader and assign it to the correct channel of the material (normal). To loop over each material, keep in mind that material in Cinema 4D is BaseMaterial which is a child class of GeListNode so to loop over all material use # Retrieve the first material of the current document mat = c4d.documents.GetActiveDocument().GetFirstMaterial() # loop over each material while mat is not None: # Do the things for each mat mat = mat.GetNext() To create a bitmap shader (c4d.Xbitmap) and assign a texture to it find an example in shader_create_bitmap_r13.py. To know the ID of the normal channel, just drop and drop it into the console, see Python Console - Drag and Drop. Cheers, Maxime.

Thanks s_bach very much.

@m_magalhaes said in Retrieve the Surface Point of current RayObject from an arbitrary UV value.: feel free to mark this thread as "solved" how? :) Edit: Solved done :)

@m_adam said in Bake Texture within ObjectData: bakeBmp = c4d.bitmaps.MultipassBitmap(512, 512, c4d.COLORMODE_RGBf) This example helped me a lot. Thank you so much. Regards, Mustapha

@m_adam thanks so using c4d.documents.SaveDocument the window is still showing up.. even with "SAVEDOCUMENTFLAGS_NONE" or "SAVEDOCUMENTFLAGS_AUTOSAVE" could it still be showing up because of an error in the file path its trying to save to or something like that?

hello, If you have nothing to add, this thread will be considered as "solved" tomorrow. Cheers, Manuel

Hi Maxime, thanks for the response! I was aware that the scene gets copied, but unaware of the GetDocument function so it definitely makes sense! I will give that a try and report back. I have been trying this with both a python effector, as well as in a python xpresso node. Andrew

@r_gigante Thank for your professional help! I am so grateful for your commitment!

@mfersaoui said in Automatically add effector object into In-/Exclusion User Data: @m_adam Thank you, Now I'm searching for how to add an Object to an In-Exclude user data. I tried with the following code but this doesn't work. import c4d def main(): effectors = op[c4d.ID_USERDATA,2] # In/Exclude User Data plain = doc.GetFirstObject() # Plain object (Effector) effectors.InsertObject(plain, 1) c4d.EventAdd() if __name__=='__main__': main() The actual issue is that effectors = op[c4d.ID_USERDATA,2] perform a copy of the InExcludeData so that means you have to reassign the data correctly after it since you don't do the change directly from the InExcludeData of the BaseContainer. op[c4d.ID_USERDATA,2] = effector Cheers, Maxime.

Thanks that worked perfectly. I thank you both!

@s_bach Sorry, I just saw your message. the replies notifications was disabled. Thank You!

@m_adam Oh, yes! Thanks, it works just fine.
