Hi,
I am new in this forum, and i am a beginner with c4d SDK.
I want to convert some simple BaseObjects like cubes or sphere into mesh, that is to say into a list of vertex and edges and triangles, or something like that. How can I do that? Is there a simple function to do that?
Thanks,
Olivier

Take a look in the SDK documentation for SendModelingCommand()- you could use MCOMMAND_MAKEEDITABLE to convert a primitive into a polygon object.

thank you, it works. Is there a way to do this without destroying the original primitive? in fact I just need to get the infos of vertex, edges, faces, of the primitive. (sorry my first question wasn't correctly formulated, I don't really need to "convert")
thanks,
Olivier

You should create a clone of the object first and make the clone editable.
You could also try to use MCOMMAND_CURRENTSTATETOOBJECT for that.
