Hi again,
I am looking to sudivide a polygon object. Can someone please point me to which function I should be using. This is for modeling tool plugin.
Thanks,
~Shawn

Use SendModelingCommand(MCOMMAND_SUBDIVIDE, mcd) where mcd is a ModelingCommandData structure filled with relevant information (there are settings for this command you set in a BaseContainer referenced by the mcd). Set the mode to MODIFY_ALL to consider all polygons in subdivision. This command works directly on the input object so you don't need to get the result from the mcd structure.

What does the code look like to set that subdivision to a hypernurbs subdivision?
I know that
MDATA_SUBDIVIDE_HYPER
is involved. Just not sure how to use it properly.
Thanks,

I just modified my own code which is doing a simple polygon subdivision and not the HyperNURBS type. I don't need a document since this is being done to a Generator plugin result (not directly added to the document - C4D does that internally from GetVirtualObjects()).

how do I determine if the button has been clicked?
Do I use...
mdat.bc->GetReal(SUBDIVIDE)

If this is a button in your tag (Attributes Manager), simply check for MSG_DESCRIPTION_COMMAND in its Message() function. I usually create functions to handle each message and send the casted data (DescriptionCommand* in this case) as an argument. The ID of the button is in that structure as DescID id. Get the actual ID value using id[0].id. Then you can do the operation. I might even make the code that I gave above a separate function called from this subfunction. So, something like this:

How do I do this is I am making a tool plugin not a tag plugin. This is for a different plugin than the symmetry one.

For tool plugins, you create a dialog which is 'stuffed' into the Attributes Manager (don't ask me why it is done this way here and not in other plugins). Put the button into the dialog and override the Command() function. Same idea after that - you get the dialog's button ID and call the function. Heed the Note there: Call StopAllThreads() before making scene modifications.

great thanks. Now I have another question. Is it possible to create a true nurbs object within C4D? I suppose it would be done using splines. But its it possible to create geometry between splines?
Just curious.

Where if say's GePrint ("Subdivide Button Clicked"); I would instead like to execute the DoCommand() member. in that is the following code.

You should just call DoCommand() where you have that GePrint() in Message().
Save yourself unnecessary variables and wasted time and just do:
PolygonObject *objPoly = ToPoly(mdat.doc->GetActiveObject());

This is the error I get now.
error C2660: 'SculptTool::DoCommand' : function does not take 0 arguments
any thoughts?

Well, I hate to be obvious but you need to fill and send the ModelingCommandData& mdat argument for your DoCommand() function. :)

LOL.. obviously the obvious eludes me some times. HAHA..
Do I fill it the way it is declared?
like this.
DoCommand(ModelingCommandData &mdat;);
or do I need something else in the parenthesis?
LOL. thank you for you patience with this noob.
