The documentation states that AnimateDoument( BaseThread*, Bool, Bool ) can be passed a NULL for the thread. In every scenario I have tried passing NULL causes C4D to crash. If NULL cannot be passed where should I attain a thread when executing an AnimateDocument in the Message function of a plugin object?

Well I've used AnimateDocument() with the thread as NULL many times and never had a crash, so that isn't the problem (IMO). Have you looked at why it is crashing, maybe it is when you are calling it.

I was trying to use it in the overloaded Message function in an instance of the ObjectData class. Passing NULL for the thread causes a crash, The same happens in GetVirtualObject but that makes sense to me. Pushed around it, just don't understand it.

I think that bad things could happen if you call it with NULL when you're in another thread. From what you say, I guess that GetVirtualObject() and Message() qualifies for that. For the former you could perhaps pass hh->GetThread(). For Message() I don't know what to pass.
Also, note that generally it's dangerous to call AnimateDocument() on the main document during the draw/render pipeline. It's safer to do it on a clone.
