Absolute genius Nux, and that was quick too! You saved me ages! :beer:
Im sure a lot of readers will find this particularly useful too!
Thanks mate.
PS. does the \\ in the filename denote multiplatform? Would this work on a mac for instance? Thanks again.

Here is something interesting. For some reason this doesnt bring in my one material for the 3Dcam.c4d scene. It is definately there in the file. I've tried flags but it doesnt make a difference...mmm

def main() :
doc = documents.GetActiveDocument()
fn = c4d.storage.GeGetC4DPath(c4d.C4D_PATH_DESKTOP) #Gets the desktop path

EDIT: Wait, replacing the merge = documents.MergeDocument(doc, path, 1 ) to merge = documents.MergeDocument(doc, path, 3 )seemed to work. :)

The backslash is a character indicating a special character in a string on almost any programmin language. Using \\ defines a simple \. Using \n defines a newline, a tab, etc..

You should use IDs instead of numbers, but i couldn't find that numer to be a 'SCENEFILETER_XX' ID. Sounds weird. May you check the function with the IDs to see which one does work for you ? See the documentation for the IDs under MergeDocument. Thanks. ;-)
Np :wink:

Read this thread about escape characters:https://plugincafe.maxon.net/topic/5838/5896_saving-files-without-the-file-browser
Mac's and PC's use different escapes.
That might be the reason why the guy who made render elements was having troubles.

[/QUOTEah i see. thanks dude.
PS. I am trying this code to simply change the viewport resolution, not working...mmm
renderData = document.GetActiveRenderData() renderData[c4d.RDATA_XRES] = 1024 renderData[c4d.RDATA_YRES] = 576 document.SetActiveRenderData(renderData)thanks

I recall reading another thread where someone was also having problems with it.
I can't remember if he was a mac user or not.
It's never given me any trouble on the PC platform:
import c4d
def main() :
renderData = doc.GetActiveRenderData()
renderData[c4d.RDATA_XRES] = 200
renderData[c4d.RDATA_YRES] = 200
c4d.EventAdd()
if __name__=='__main__':
main()
Works fine for me.

Yeah spot on Scott, cheers.
So if i want to change the render savefilename or multipass filename based upon a user data variable, is this a similar procedure? Does this apply to document scale as well. I want to know how i can change the document scale to cm before i import my file with the script.
Cheers. Its coming together.

k, scratch most of that. Im mostly stuggling to find what class controls the document scale/fps etc.
EDIT: Looking though the Base.Document reveals other things like min time, preview time FPS etc but no document scale (cm/mm) etc...

Ok guys, so i am writing a script using your code which basically puts a multi-cam project to a renderfarm with one click. IT makes x number project folders with each c4d containing different active cameras (using Xpresso).
I am just getting into the loop part to change the selected camera BEFORE it calls the SaveProject() function which Nux was so kind to provide. The script at the moment creates the folders correctly, but it is not changing the user data which in turn should be changing the active camera. I am sure its a simple syntax error and the way im getting the user data. Help? The User data ID which controls the selected camera is #17.
Thanks. PS. once this is sorted id like to be able to get the filename and renderfarm path dynamically from a string/dir user data. This is easy i suspect once someone clues me in on how i have skrewed up the currect code...
Thanks guys.

You missunderstood how getting and setting of data and variable works.
selectedcam = op[c4d.ID_USERDATA, 17]
This doesn't assign the actual userdata entry to 'selectedcam', it does assign it's value.
for i in xrange(8) :
op[c4d.ID_USERDATA, 17] = i
is the right code.
Again, I recommend you to read the tutorial in the documentation. It's a fundamental base for the knowledge you need for programming.
