    Hi Ching,

    even if the answer fits for all our SDKs, please, put Python questions into the Python sub-forum. I have moved this thread.

    Private means something is private for MAXON and not meant for public (3rd party) use. There may be many reasons. Maybe it's an internally needed function, which had to be exposed for one reason or another, but can't be used without certain internal constraints or knowledge. Could also be, the function or class is not stable (maybe yet) and should therefore not be used. Such functions might even imply a certain danger for C4D's stability if not used correctly.
