    Hi,

    I have created a dialog plugin that creates objects into the document.
    The dialog creates the objects after I click a button.

    I would like to add some kind of preview function so I can see where the objects will be placed, by drawing markers into the editor view.

    As the GeDialog doesn't have access to the editors BaseDraw I used the following code

      
BaseDocument *doc = GetActiveDocument();  
BaseDraw *bd = doc->GetActiveBaseDraw();  
bd->Circle2D(100,100, 100);

    But nothing shows in the editor windows. Perhaps C4D is refreshing thus removing what I am trying to draw. Im not sure.

    I have never used GetActiveBaseDraw before, so I'm wondering If I am doing this correctly.

    Any help would be apreciated
    Thanks

    I think the best way is to make a custom SceneHookData that you can use to draw into the editor. SceneHookData::Draw() will be called every redraw. Make sure that it doesn't hog any resources when your dialog isn't open!
