this is how I am attempting to subdivide

but it keeps crashing

MAX_ANGLE is equal to pi   and subAMount is a real that the user can adjust.   :)

try catching the crash with

if(SendModelingCommand(MCOMMAND_SUBDIVIDE, mdat))
{
GePrint("done");
}
else
{
GePrint("failed");
}

just to be on the safe side..

Here's my subdivision code now...

Still crashing.

//SUBDIVISION
  
		Real subAmount;
		subAmount = mcd2.bc->GetLong(SPACEROCK_SUBDIVISIONS);
		mcd2.mode = MODIFY_ALL;
		mcd2.doc = hh->GetDocument();
  
		if(SendModelingCommand(MCOMMAND_SUBDIVIDE, mcd2))

			mcd2.bc->SetBool(MDATA_SUBDIVIDE_HYPER, TRUE);
			mcd2.bc->SetLong(MDATA_SUBDIVIDE_SUB, subAmount);
			mcd2.bc->SetReal(MDATA_SUBDIVIDE_ANGLE, pi);
			//Subdivision Command
			SendModelingCommand(MCOMMAND_SUBDIVIDE, mcd2);
		} 
		else
		{
			GePrint("failed");
		}

Any thoughts?

hey, dont call SendModelingCommand twice.. its already called in the if condition!

well.. that was a good thought and a good catch but unfortunately it's still crashing .. this one is a bit of a thorn today.  LOL

another thing could be worth a try, to set the Parameters for an extra BaseContainer like i did it in my example:

BaseContainer bc;
          bc.SetReal(MDATA_OPTIMIZE_TOLERANCE, tolerance);
          bc.SetReal(MDATA_OPTIMIZE_POINTS, TRUE);
          bc.SetReal(MDATA_OPTIMIZE_POLYGONS, TRUE);
          bc.SetReal(MDATA_OPTIMIZE_UNUSEDPOINTS, TRUE);
          cd.bc = &bc;

and in the if (SendModelingCommand... call "cd.op->Message(MSG_UPDATE, NULL);"

Oh, wait, i didnt see you setting mcd2.op to your object, maybe thats the main problem

alternatively, did you try CallCommand(14047); ?? maybe that works... but i dont know how you set the parameters in this case..

Awesome..  It works.   Used your different basecontainer suggestion.

//SUBDIVISION
		Real subAmount = bc->GetReal(SPACEROCK_SUBDIVISIONS);
  
		BaseContainer bc2;
		
		bc2.SetBool(MDATA_SUBDIVIDE_HYPER, TRUE);
		bc2.SetLong(MDATA_SUBDIVIDE_SUB, subAmount);
		bc2.SetReal(MDATA_SUBDIVIDE_ANGLE, pi);
  
		mcd2.bc = &bc2;
		mcd2.op = polyCube;
		mcd2.mode = MODIFY_ALL;
		mcd2.doc = hh->GetDocument();
		
  
		if(SendModelingCommand(MCOMMAND_SUBDIVIDE, mcd2))
		{
			GePrint("done");	 
		} 
		else
		{
			GePrint("failed");
		}
  

Thanks again.  I'm calling it a night.   Thanks for your help.

Hi, i did a quick test on subdividing and it works here.. dont ask me why it needs to create the dependency list twice, but if i dont do it, the plugin is updating everytime something changes in the editor even if you turn the camera and such.. if someone can tell my why, i'd be happy.

anyways, here is what is working for me:

  
#define pluginID 1000001  
#define pluginName "testObject"  
#include "c4d.h"

  ModelingCommandData cd;  
  Bool dirty;  
  BaseObject* main = BaseObject::Alloc(Onull);  
  if (!main) goto Error;  
  
  BaseObject* child = op->GetDown();  
  if (!child) goto Error;  
  op->NewDependenceList();  
  op->AddDependence(hh,child);  
  
  dirty = op->CheckCache(hh) || op->IsDirty(DIRTY_MATRIX|DIRTY_DATA|DIRTY_CHILDREN);  
  dirty = dirty || !op->CompareDependenceList();

      blDelete(main);

      return op->GetCache(hh);  
  }  
  
  BaseObject* clone = op->GetAndCheckHierarchyClone(hh,child,HCLONE_ASPOLY,&dirty,0,false);//static_cast<PolygonObject*>(child->GetClone(0,0));  
  if (clone)

          }  
          clone->InsertUnderLast(main);  
      }  
      else  
      {  
          blDelete(clone);  
      }  
  }  
  op->NewDependenceList();  
  op->AddDependence(hh,child);  
  op->TouchDependenceList();      
  return main;  
  
Error:  
  if (main) blDelete(main);  
  return NULL;  
}
