Howdy,
Are there specific times when it's not safe to call op->Message(MSG_UPDATE)?
I have a tag that does some calculations on a polygon object's points in the Execute() function and then at the end of the function, it calls op->Message(MSG_UPDATE). This seemed to be a cause of a crash when using the Bevel tool on a single selected edge of the polygonal object. If I comment out the op->Message(MSG_UPDATE) line, then it doesn't crash anymore.
So far the Bevel tool is the only thing that I've found that causes a crash.
In the SDK documentation it says:

My assumption with that is that since the points were being altered by the tag, then MSG_UPDATE needed to be sent to the object. Is this correct?
Adios,
