what kind of material information are you looking for? An object can have multiple materials attached to it. So you need to browse the material tags (see GetFirstTag() and GetNext()) on the polygonobject and then you can get the according material from the tag itself. You can then take any material properties from the material directly.

I thinked soo. But i can´t find the GetNext() function, only GetFirstTag() of the BaseObject class.
I have the SDK R9.5, maybe its only an update.

Look at the classes the BaseObject is inherited from. It´s a function of a parent class.

Ah, there is it. But i think it returns the next PolygonObject. Maybe you mean it´s the GetNext() function of the BaseTag class?

sorry my fault. yes of course it´s the one from the basetag class.

Actually both are the same function, since BaseTag and BaseObject are both derived from BaseList2D. And that's where the GetNext() function comes from

ok, so my mind didn´t play me when i said it was inherited. Well, I am getting old or simply too lazy to look it up I guess. thx for correcting and I go to sleep now better, Peter...ehm Jack.

Excuse me, but i have one question more. Where are the normalinformations of the vertices as vector? I cant´t find it.

CreatePhongNormals() is what you are looking for.

Where is this function? In the phongtag?

In the PolygonObject class. Why don´t you download the SDK docs as .chm? Then you can easily search for all functions.

The CreatePhongNormals() function only works with an existing Phong tag. In case there's no phong tag, you have to calculate the normals yourself (e.g. by calculating the face normals of all neighbor polygons and then calculating the average from that).
Ah, I just notice this thread is about COFFEE. In COFFEE there's no CreatePhongNormals() at all. I'n not quite sure if (and how) it is possible in COFFEE to get your hands on the phong normals. But calculating the simple vertex normals, as described above, should be possible.

Strangely, the chm file doesn´t works. It doesn´t draw the page on windows xp and 7.
