    Hi there,

    I post this in the SDK Help Subforum, because I am sure, if someone knows a way to solve my Problem in C++ I can transfer it to Python.

    What I want is to merge 2 Polygonobjects into one. If you know how to do it, you actually don't need to understand my Code. :)
    If not, I hope C++'ers can understand it.

    It actually works, but some points are connected with the the other objects.
    And theire axes are resetted , but I know how to fix this, and I will do this later.

    def SetAllPoints(op,points) :  
  if op is None: return False  
  if points is None: return False  
  
  cnt = op.GetPointCount()  
  
  for i in xrange(cnt) :  
      op.SetPoint(i,points[i])  
  op.Message(c4d.MSG_UPDATE)  
  
def SetAllPolygons(op,polys) :  
  if op is None: return False  
  if polys is None: return False  
  
  cnt = op.GetPolygonCount()  
  
  for i in xrange(cnt) :  
      op.SetPolygon(i,polys[i])  
  op.Message(c4d.MSG_UPDATE)  
  
def MakeEditable(op) :  
  if (not op) : return  
  if (op.CheckType(c4d.Opolygon) == True) : return op  
  
  op = [op.GetClone()]  
  doc = c4d.documents.BaseDocument()  
  doc.InsertObject(op[0],None,None)  
  op = c4d.utils.SendModelingCommand(  
                            command = c4d.MCOMMAND_MAKEEDITABLE,  
                            list = op,  
                            doc = doc )  
  return op[0]  
  
def MergeLists(lst1,lst2) :  
  for line in lst2:  
      lst1.append(line)  
  return lst1  
  
def MergePolygonObjects(obj1,obj2) :  
  op = c4d.BaseObject(c4d.Opolygon)  
  obj1 = MakeEditable(obj1)  
  obj2 = MakeEditable(obj2)  
  op.ResizeObject(obj1.GetPointCount()+obj2.GetPointCount(),obj1.GetPolygonCount()+obj2.GetPolygonCount())  
  SetAllPoints(op,MergeLists(obj1.GetAllPoints(),obj2.GetAllPoints()))  
  SetAllPolygons(op,MergeLists(obj1.GetAllPolygons(),obj2.GetAllPolygons()))  
  return op

    Thanks in Advance, nux

    hi there,
    you have to remap the vertex-indices of the second polygonobject. Adding an offset obj1.GetPointCount() to each vertex index in the polygon array of the second one should do it.

    You could use SendModelingCommand(MCOMMAND_JOIN, ...).  The only caveat is that you will need to put the editable objects under a Null object and pass the Null object in with the ModelingCommandData.  Best to make clones to work with.

    Thanks, that should work. Haha, didn't think about this !

    Still got some problems, postet in the Python Subforum.
