    I have some difficulties accessing the data of objects.
    In my case bones.
    I need the rotation and translation values from the fixation.

    What I have found so far is

      
          BaseContainer bonedata = P406Exporter.doc->GetFirstObject()->GetData();  
          GeData bonepos = bonedata.GetData(BONEOBJECT_FIXPOSITION);  
          GeData bonerot = bonedata.GetData(BONEOBJECT_FIXROTATION);  
  
          GeData bFixed = bonedata.GetContainer(BONEOBJECT_FIXED);  
  
          Matrix mat_rot = HPBToMatrix(bonerot.GetVector());  
          Matrix mat_pos = MatrixMove(bonepos.GetVector());

    But the return values are always Null;
    What am I doing wrong, and/or where could I find an example how to do it the right way?

    Tnx for any help

    Nevermind... 1/2 of it was my mistake the other 1/2 was confusion about the GetData GetCustomDataType functions

      
          BaseContainer* bonedata = obj->GetDataInstance();  
          GeData bonepos = bonedata->GetData(BONEOBJECT_FIXPOSITION);  
          GeData bonerot = bonedata->GetData(BONEOBJECT_FIXROTATION);

    This way it works (I tried to read bone information from a poly object, so it was my mistake)
    But I dont get why there are two functions GetData & GetCustomDataType
