I'm starting to understand the usage of the send modelling command, but when i try to use it in a python object script it seems to crash c4d. below is the script that crashed c4d.

import c4d
#Welcome to the world of Python

def main() :
#define Bldg Variables
bldgHgt = op[c4d.ID_USERDATA, 1]
bldgWth = op[c4d.ID_USERDATA, 2]
flrHgt = op[c4d.ID_USERDATA, 3]
keepSqr = op[c4d.ID_USERDATA, 5]
bldgDepth = op[c4d.ID_USERDATA, 6]
#create Objects
cube = c4d.BaseObject(c4d.Ocube)
null = c4d.BaseObject(c4d.Onull)
#set cube under null such that base is always at Zero
axis = c4d.Vector(0,bldgHgt/2,0)
cube.InsertUnder(null)
cube.SetRelPos(axis)
#Set the bldg Perameters

cube[c4d.PRIM_CUBE_SUBY] = int(bldgHgt/flrHgt)
if(keepSqr==True) :
      cube[c4d.PRIM_CUBE_LEN] = c4d.Vector(bldgWth,bldgHgt,bldgWth)
else :
      cube[c4d.PRIM_CUBE_LEN] = c4d.Vector(bldgWth,bldgHgt,bldgDepth)
#Begin Contructing Windows
def MakeMulling(op,doc) :
      settings = c4d.BaseContainer()    # settings
      settings[2037] = 5
      doc.SetActiveObject(op)
      c4d.CallCommand(12236)
      c4d.CallCommand(12187)
      c4d.CallCommand(12112)
      c4d.utils.SendModelingCommand(command = c4d.ID_MODELING_EXTRUDE_INNER_TOOL,
                                    list=op,
                                    mode=c4d.MODELINGCOMMANDMODE_POLYGONSELECTION,
                                    bc = settings,
                                    doc = doc)
MakeMulling(op,doc)
#Pass the final object to document
return null

what is the correct usage for the send modelling command from within a python object?

 	function slideDown() { 	var dlt = document.getElementById("dllist"); 	dlt.setAttribute("style", "display:none;"); 	} 	function tB() { 	var tl = document.getElementById("linkbox"); 	var dl = document.getElementById("dltext"); 	if (tl.style.display=="none") { 	dl.style.display = "none"; 	tl.style.display = ""; 	} else { 	tl.style.display="none"; 	dl.style.display=""; 	} 	}

It would be easier if you could upload the scene file, I don't know what userdata you used etc.

Sure thing. As soon as I can i will upload the scene file. Mostly though i was just wondering the proper usage of the send modelling command within a python object/tag vs. a script. If anyone has a working example of the SendModellingCcommand that would be a great help.

Ah, I see.
the "list" argument must be a list or tuple or any iterateable object.

        c4d.utils.SendModelingCommand(command = c4d.ID_MODELING_EXTRUDE_INNER_TOOL,  
                                    list=[op],

This should do it. Well, that's the first error i could spot. There may be others. ;-)

great! thanks ill try this out. your probably right, because it semed like everything else in the code was working. its always something really simple(like forgetting two brakets) that messes it up. well, thanks again for the input. ill give this a shot as soon as i get home.

ok, so i have atried a number of different things but i still cant get this to work. i have simplified the idea drastically, but i still am not doing something right. Essentially, all i want to do right now, is create a beveled cube using a python object. here is my scene file. i got it to stop crashing, but it will not bevel.
any help is greatly appreciated.

here is a link ot download the c4d file
http://www.sendspace.com/file/zsg754

and here is the code within the python generator:

import c4d
#Welcome to hell

def main() :
doc = c4d.documents.GetActiveDocument
cube = c4d.BaseObject(c4d.Ocube)
null = c4d.BaseObject(c4d.Onull)
cube1 = MakeEditable(cube)
cube2 = Bevel(cube1,30)
return cube2

def ExtrudeInner(obj,offset,doc) :
pass

def Bevel(op,offset) :
bc = c4d.BaseContainer()
bc[2042] = offset
if(not op) | op.CheckType(c4d.Opolygon) | op.CheckType(c4d.Ospline) : return op
doc = c4d.documents.BaseDocument()
doc.InsertObject(op[1], None, None)
obj = c4d.utils.SendModelingCommand(
                            command = 450000005,#bevel
                            list = obj,
                            settings = bc,
                            doc = doc )
return obj[1]

def MakeEditable(op) :
import c4d
if (not op) | op.CheckType(c4d.Opolygon) | op.CheckType(c4d.Ospline) : 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,
                            mode = c4d.MODELINGCOMMANDMODE_EDGESELECTION,
                            doc = doc )
return op[0]
