I was trying to make it happen but I guess this is a logic problem I need your help.

at the moment i use the callcomand but i guess this is not the fasted solution to select all children in a Null-Object.

op.SetBit(c4d.BIT_ACTIVE)   
c4d.CallCommand(100004768) # Unterobjekte selektieren - select children                 
c4d.CallCommand(16768) # Objekte verbinden + Löschen Connect and delete

kind regards

If you need to select all children you need to
use a recursive function such as below.
To keep the selection to the hierarchy of the
selected object, you add a obj.GetNext() so it
knows where to stop (or it would select everything
from selected object to the end of the OM.

import c4d   
from c4d import gui   
  
def selchildren(obj,next) : # Scan obj hierarchy and select children   
    while obj and obj != next:   
        doc.AddUndo(c4d.UNDOTYPE_CHANGE_SMALL,obj)   
        obj.SetBit(c4d.BIT_ACTIVE)   
        selchildren(obj.GetDown(),next)   
        obj = obj.GetNext()   
    c4d.EventAdd()   
    return True   
  
def main() :   
    try: obj = doc.GetActiveObjects(False)[0]   
    except: return True # Nothing Selected   
  
    doc.StartUndo()   
    if selchildren(obj,obj.GetNext()) :   
        c4d.CallCommand(16768) #Connect And Delete   
  
    doc.EndUndo()   
  
if __name__=='__main__':   
    main()

Thanks tcastudios, this is about 60% faster then the callcomand exactly what i needed.

works perfect.

just to understand your code: you are calling the function from itself? with different parameters? thats crazy stuff

also this line buffles me : try: obj = doc.GetActiveObjects(False)[0]
does this read like "Try to set OBJ, and if 0 set to False"

much more to learn young jedi
kind regards mogh
