Say I have a cube and select the top 4 points. How do I move,rotate, scale that 4 points with python.

I came this far:

Pnt_Obj = doc.SearchObject("Cube")
            
    Pnts_List = [1,3,5,7]    
                
    for i in Pnts_List:
        
        Vec = Pnt_Obj.GetPoint(i)
        
        PosX = Vec.x
        PosY = Vec.y
        PosZ = Vec.z
                
        Pnt_Obj.SetPoint(i,c4d.Vector(PosX, PosY + Input1, PosZ))
        
        Pnt_Obj.Message (c4d.MSG_UPDATE)

---------------------------------------------------------------
The problem is that it do adjust with the slider "Input1" but it just keep on adjusting because it keeps updating the Vector of the points. Please  how do I fix this??

This might help (the actual math). Another "dirty way" is to create a cluster from the selected points rotate the cluster and then kill the object. It's a lot more work to do, and slower, but will get the result you want.

thanks for your reply ShawnFrueh

will check it out, just thought there could be an easier way to move points around
