@m_adam I have a handful of doc.SearchObject() so I was looking for an easier route. I guess there is no way around it except concatenating strings. Anyhow, thanks for the code and confirmation. Will tag this thread as closed. Have a great day ahead!

Thank you @m_adam I completed my exporter scripts to your help. I read Links, I will tagging next time. I'm studing c4d scripts. it still hard. Thank you again.

hello, just a step to confirm @C4DS answer and if you look again at @r_gigante answer in this post it will make now fully sense. regarding your code i will go like this just to be a bit shorter and easier if i want to add or remove a tag from the list. safeTagList = [5617, 5600, 1604] tags = node.GetTags() for tag in tags: if tag not in safeTagList: tag.Remove() Cheers Manuel

@m_magalhaes Oh yeah I forgot to add the tags. I'm using Python by the way. You can count this post as solved.

Thanks for the @r_gigante response. I'll stay away from the non-official method. Is this the reason why COPYFLAGS::PRIVATE_NO_TAGS is not included in the Python documentation of the GetClone() method? I'll use the clone everything then remove tags methodology instead.

Works perfectly. Thanks!

Hey thanks ALOT, Manuel ! i'm creating the plane in a different way, because i double the polygon sizes with distance still, i must check your code for learning! the phong & material tag solution is gold :) EDIT: all works like a charm, now :) topic solved!

@pim said in Current State to Object of a Subdivision Surface: SendModelingCommand Oops, I see Subdivision Renderer setting and not Subdivision Editor setting is taken into account.

Hi @pim only UNDOTYPE_NEW is needed. Moreover, I would like to mention that SendModelingCommand offers the MODELINGCOMMANDFLAGS_CREATEUNDO flags in order to automatically creates undo. Cheers, Maxime.

hello, @Cairyn thanks for the answer the subject seems to be popular those days :) As in this thread , we can confimr it's not possible. Cheers Manuel

@m_adam thank you for your answer from the code, it similar to what i already try, but this way looks like not a perfect solution. actually after read most c4d gui sdk and write some examples, i think maybe c4d should update gui model? sometimes it not flexible. just my personal thoughts, don't mind : ) expect python 3.x and pyside2 coming : )

Hello, just for your information: you find more about CTracks in the CTrack Manual and more information on DescIDs and DescLevels in the DescID Manual. best wishes, Sebastian

Hi @Graeme, thanks for reaching out us. With regard to your request, aside from the @mp5gosu notes I'd like to point you to this discussion where SelectionTag creation is presented. Feel free to come with any further consideration. Best, Riccardo

Hi @mike, thanks for reaching out us. With regard to the issue reported, I confirm that it's known bug and there is no current workaround. A bug fix will be delivered in the future. Regard, Riccardo.

@Cairyn and @r_gigante RE: BUT: This world matrix is already part of the object that contains the points. Now your points have applied the matrix twice, first through the object and then through this multiplication. Thanks for the clarification. Works as expected. (And I agree, I owe you a beer Cairyn hehehe). Have a great day ahead!

Hi @bentraje, thanks for reaching out us. With regard to your question, there's no "straightforward" method delivered, either in Cinema 4D Python API or C++ API, tailored to this specific scope but rather using the approach proposed by @Cairyn is the way to go (and personally I don't find anything clunky). With regard to the GeListNode::Remove() as reported in the documentation it's just responsible for removing a node from a list and in C++ it's also return the object's ownership to the caller freeing Cinema 4D from being responsible to dispose that resource. Best, Riccardo

Hi @mikeudin, thanks for reaching out us. With regard to your request, although it's not expected it to work inside the Cinema 4D Script Manager you can get it properly working using the c4dpy executable (here's the 20.059 compatible version) as much as you do on the Python Shell or on SublimeText console as you can see from the log below. $ more test.py import inspect # Save this code as script py-file and start def main(): code = inspect.getsource(main_new) # place function code to str variable print code # print code text. Works on Python Shell, but not in C4D Scripts Manager def main_new(): # This is a comment # New comment string # Change this code, to check the console output pass if __name__ == '__main__': main() $ ./c4dpy.app/Contents/MacOS/c4dpy test.py def main_new(): # This is a comment # New comment string # Change this code, to check the console output pass $ Best, Riccardo

RE: there is no way to retrieves the created object from the built-in Tool Thanks for the confirmation RE: SendModelingCommand/MCOMMAND_MIRROR. Correct me if I'm wrong but this works only on polygon objects. I'm mirroring a joint chain rather than a polygon object. Is there a way around this? Thank you.

Thanks for confirmation @Cairyn and @r_gigante Sorry for being picky. Just had some muscle memory from other softwares that wanted to port to C4D. Anyhow, will settle for the Ctrl+LMB as specified by @Cairyn Thanks again have a great day ahead!
