Just FYI: you find that information regarding ./res/libs/win64 in the documentation: Development for Microsoft Window

Hi @bentraje, thanks for reaching out us. With regard to your request, I confirm there's no "reverse" method allowing you to get all the BaseList2D items being referred by a layer. Cheers, R

Hi Daniel, thanks for reaching out us. With regard to the question posed, since R20 you can make use of the MeshAttribute Interfaces that have been designed to make such tasks of handling information tightly connected with meshes as easy as possible. If, on the contrary, you need to make this working with releases < R20 (as from your tags), then things get more complicated and I've the feeling that the merging of data contained in custom tags is not possible - the merging of UV data it's likely to be hard-coded in Cinema 4D and I think there's no chance to replicate such behavior -. Rest assured, that being this nothing more than a guess, I'll check with our developers and report accordingly to the findings. Cheers, R

@m_adam Thanks for the response. For some reason, the return value is not accepted by the SetFont. It does not error out. It just uses the default font. In addition, how were you able to determine that the [508] is for the font name? I can't seem to see such reference in the documentation. You can check the working code here: import c4d from c4d import gui # Welcome to the world of Python def GetSegoeUiBoldFont(): bcFonts = c4d.bitmaps.GeClipMap.EnumerateFonts(c4d.GE_CM_FONTSORT_HIERARCHICAL) for familyId, familyBc in bcFonts: for fontDescriptionId, fontDescription in familyBc: if fontDescription[508] == "SegoeUI-Bold": return fontDescription print fontDescription def main(): w = 50 h = 50 image_with_text = c4d.bitmaps.GeClipMap() image_with_text.Init(w=w,h=h,bits=32) image_with_text.BeginDraw() image_with_text.SetColor(125,255,255) image_with_text.FillRect(x1=0,y1=0,x2=50,y2=50) image_with_text.SetColor(0,0,0) font_bc = GetSegoeUiBoldFont() print font_bc font_size = 15 image_with_text.SetFont(font_bc,font_size) image_with_text.TextAt(x=10,y=15,txt='head') image_with_text.EndDraw() bmp = image_with_text.GetBitmap() c4d.bitmaps.ShowBitmap(bmp) # Execute main() if __name__=='__main__': main()

Thanks @m_adam. First time using the c4d.DrawViews(). It works as expected. Thanks for the introduction.

Hi @bentraje there is no builtin way for doing it, you will have to tests each Gadget to determine which one match with the function posted in Right Click Contextual Menu on a Button?. Final note you can retrieve the current mouse position in the message function with if msg.GetId() == c4d.BFM_GETCURSORINFO: x = msg.GetInt32(c4d.BFM_DRAG_SCREENX) y = msg.GetInt32(c4d.BFM_DRAG_SCREENY) Cheers, Maxime.

Thanks! Works like a charm! -b

Hello, as Riccardo has pointed out, AdditionalIncludeDirectories has nothing to do with DLLs. It is used to define search paths for header files. See Additional include directories. It was never valid. Also, looking at the error, the plugin was installed into the C:/Program Files folder. In R21, there is no reason to install plugins there; one can install plugins at any location and just tell Cinema 4D the plugin path. best wishes, Sebastian

@blastframe @m_magalhaes Thanks for the response and the confirmation that Undo is not included in the GeDialog(GUI). That said the supplied code works on my use case. Thanks again!

Hi Maxime, thanks a lot! Both are valid solutions for me. Very helpful. Cheers

@r_gigante Thank you for the response and especially for the alternative code (first time to see a line with msg[c4d.BFM_ACTION_VALUE]. Both code works as expected.

As @Ashton_FCS_PluginDev demonstrates, you can call multiple RegisterXX in your pyp file. So yes you have to register a CommandData for each in the first situation. You don't have to react about it on the Message function since the whole script/Cinema 4D will be blocked until you clicked/selected answers and the clicked ID will be the return value of ShowPopupDialog but as explained and demonstrated in the ShowPopupDialog documentation. Cheers, Maxime.

@m_adam Ah. Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification and link.

When you presented the order of execution of __init__(), CreateLayout and InitValues. That makes total sense especially the 2.2.1 when it resets to an empty list. Thanks for the clarification!

Gotcha. Thanks for the code and confirmation. For my code, it's not really a simple printing the ID. Each ID corresponds with a separate function/script. I guess I'll just store them in a separate list. Separate ID list and separate function script list. Then execute them by matching index.

Hello, Q2 : filterwhirl.cpp is a internal file you don't have access to it. And we don't have tutorials. (this comment will be removed to avoid confusion) Q3 : CallCommand should be use on the main thread, that's maybe why it's not working, you can use ExecuteOnMainThread in your job. Cheers, Manuel

@m_adam Works as expected! Thanks again for the sample code, makes everything clear.

@r_gigante Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, I still can't read C++ codes at the moment. Is there a python equivalent of that page? I can't seem to see one. There is a page for that but it's like a dictionary. It does not contain any sample codes like in C++ If it does not exist, do you have any C++ with an equivalent Python page in the documentation? I'll just to interpolate them as much as possible. ########################## I also checked the Github sample and it does contain a GeUserArea sample But the button part is still in GeDialog. Is it possible to make the GeUserArea part to be clickable like a button?

Hi jhpark, thanks for reaching out us. Aside from the notes left by @blastframe - thanks dude for the remarks - I think it's worthy, thinking of a more generic scene, to mention the need BaseDocument::ExecutePasses() to be sure that everything is actually evaluated before querying the scene rather than the EventAdd() which serves a different scope. This function is responsible to execute the scene evaluation and, consequently to be sure that, moving from a frame to another, all the items in the scene reflect the changes imposed by the frame switch. The approach used by @blastframe actually operates on CTracks and key but, although this approach works fine for your specific case, when more evaluation dependencies are created in the scene you could easily end up in unexpected results. The code could then look like frames_count = 10 # [Set] frames counter for f in range(0, frames_count): doc.SetTime(c4d.BaseTime(f, doc.GetFps())) # evaluate the scene doc.ExecutePasses(None, True, True, True, c4d.BUILDFLAGS_NONE) obj = doc.SearchObject('Cube') # get object position x = int(obj.GetMg().off.x) y = int(obj.GetMg().off.y) z = int(obj.GetMg().off.z) # get object color r = int(obj[c4d.ID_BASEOBJECT_COLOR].x * 255) g = int(obj[c4d.ID_BASEOBJECT_COLOR].y * 255) b = int(obj[c4d.ID_BASEOBJECT_COLOR].z * 255) print("Frame = " + str(f) + ", (X,Y,Z) = " + str(x) + "," + str(y) + "," + str(z) + ", RGB = " + str(r) + "," + str(g) + "," + str(b))

@r_gigante My generator creates an empty spline, several modifiers can actually create and modify it. I's like to display the final size in the main generator object.
