Hi there, I have the Problem that I would select only visible Polygons from a CAD File. My Idea is to make a cameramove around the object (animation) and select with liveselection (with a big radius and pressed shiftbutton) the visible polygons.
But now the question: can I make a script that hold the shift key and click in the middle from the editorview and repeate this?
I hope you can help me (I´m a script beginner, Sorry)

scripts don't work that way. if you are looking for something like an adobe action, c4d does not
offer that.
utils.GeRayCollider and utils.ViewportSelect are the classes you could use for your task.

Thank you, and how can I use this? Do you have a code snipple for example?
Thx for the help!

Snipple ? I think you mean snippet ;) Both classes are more a concept rather than a ready to
use solution. Your task is quite exotic, so you won't find an example that does exactly what
you want. But there are plenty of threads (and examples) here that deal with the GeRayCollider
class. Use the search function. For the VPS class it is more or less the same. Come up with some
(own) code and we will help you. You need specific questions.
Here is a code snippet dealing with the mouse over highlighting for some polygon selection tools,
utilizing the vps class for that. Be aware that vps can produce nasty memory leaks (when initialized
step by step for multiple objects. there should be a thread started by me, describing that problem).
