Hi.
I'm trying to make a cube in C++ and then make it editable. This is my code so far in my object-plugin:

BaseObject* extrudierterWuerfel::GetVirtualObjects(BaseObject *op, HierarchyHelp *hh)
{
     BaseObject *wuerfel = BaseObject::Alloc(Ocube);
     BaseDocument *doc = op->GetDocument();
     doc->InsertObject(wuerfel, NULL, NULL);

ModelingCommandData datac;
     BaseContainer basec;

datac.doc=doc;
     datac.op=op;
     datac.bc=&basec;
     
    SendModelingCommand(MCOMMAND_MAKEEDITABLE, datac);
     
     return wuerfel;
}

I don't know what is wrong, but when I start the plugin, Cinema crashes. When I change the command from MCOMMAND_MAKEEDITABLE to MCOMMAND_SELECTALL, that doesn't happen.
Can you please help me?

You CANNOT use SendModelingCommand() in GetVirtualObjects() - especially anything that causes a cache rebuild which is what GetVirtualObjects() is already in the process of doing. MAKEEDITABLE and CURRENTSTATETOOBJECT for instance.

Ah, ok, but where or how should I do it then?

Not there?

You'll have to allocate a PolygonObject to be returned and fill in the Vector and Polygon arrays yourself if you must do it in GetVirtualObjects().

Thanks so far, I found another thread here, where is described how to do this with a copy of the object. This is my new code:

BaseObject* extrudierterWuerfel::GetVirtualObjects(BaseObject *op, HierarchyHelp *hh)
{
     BaseDocument *doc = op->GetDocument();

BaseObject *cloned = BaseObject::Alloc(Ocube);
     
     PolygonObject *poly=NULL;

BaseDocument *copydoc=doc->Alloc();
    copydoc->InsertObject(cloned,NULL,NULL,FALSE);

ModelingCommandData cd,cd2,cd3;
     cd.doc     = copydoc;
     cd.op     = cloned;
     if (!SendModelingCommand(MCOMMAND_MAKEEDITABLE, cd)) return NULL;

poly=static_cast<PolygonObject*>(cd.result->GetIndex(0));

copydoc->SetMode(Mpolygons);
     
     
     BaseContainer bc;
     bc.SetData(MDATA_EXTRUDE_OFFSET, 50);          
     
     ModelingCommandData extrusionmcd;

extrusionmcd.bc=&bc;
     extrusionmcd.doc=copydoc;
     extrusionmcd.op=poly;

SendModelingCommand(ID_MODELING_EXTRUDE_TOOL, extrusionmcd);
     
     return poly;
}

The good thing here is, that nothing crashes. The bad thing is, that no making editable or extrusion happens. Why is that?

Nobody knows what's wrong here? Is it that I have to copy the object back into the Basedocument doc?
