Hi,

I'm trying to automate the dragging of parameters to viewports.
Is this possible with Python?

You can see an illustration of the problem here:

Thank you for looking at my problem.

@m_adam

I have a handful of doc.SearchObject() so I was looking for an easier route.
I guess there is no way around it except concatenating strings.

Anyhow, thanks for the code and confirmation.

Will tag this thread as closed.

Have a great day ahead!

Hi @m_adam

Thanks for the response.
Sorry for the confusion.
Yes, I am talking with the Xref object when I mentioned "referenced file"
and No, I'm not talking about character object. I just mentioned character. As in my character in general.

Please see the illustration file below:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/c5297hvjspal63i/c4d108_localized_python_command.rar?dl=0

In the source file, it prints the BaseObject since it found the object
In the reference file, it should print also the BaseObject but it finds none because of the namespace.

That is why I am looking to limit the doc.SearchObject function on the source document and not on the file it is referenced.

Is there a way around this?

Thank you.

Hi,

On my character rig, I have a line like this:
hips_con = doc.SearchObject('hips_con)

It works on the source document but once I reference the file it doesn't work since the file will now have a name of
character_name::hips_con

I can't delete the namespace entirely since there will be several character that have the same rig set-up in a single scene.
So, is there a way to limit the doc.SearchObject() on the source document and not on the reference document?

Thank you for looking at the problem.

Take my response with a grain of salt but there is no built-in method/function for that.
There is no doc.SearchObject() equivalent for the tags.

@C4DS

Thanks for the response. Just revised the section and it works as expected

    # Remove Tags
    tags = obj.GetTags()
    for tag in tags:
        if tag.GetType() == 5617: # Tangent Tag
            pass
        elif tag.GetType() == 5600: # Point Tag
            pass
        elif tag.GetType() == 5604: # Polygon Tag
            pass
        else:        
            tag.Remove()

Thanks for the help. Have a great day ahead!

Hi,

I'm trying to clone an object and delete the tags attached on the original object.
Here is the code:

# Select an editable object
def main():

    # Copy original object
    obj = op.GetClone(c4d.COPYFLAGS_NO_HIERARCHY)
    doc.InsertObject(obj)

    # Remove Tags
    tags = obj.GetTags()
    for tag in tags:
        tag.Remove()
    
    c4d.EventAdd()

The problem is the Remove Tags section deletes not only tags but also the points. So even though the object is in the hierarchy, it doesn't contain any points.

Is there a way around this? Thank you

Thanks for the @r_gigante response.
I'll stay away from the non-official method. Is this the reason why COPYFLAGS::PRIVATE_NO_TAGS is not included in the Python documentation of the GetClone() method?

I'll use the clone everything then remove tags methodology instead.

Hi,

I'm trying to duplicate objects using the GetClone(c4d.COPYFLAGS_NO_HIERARCHY | c4d.COPYFLAGS_NO_BITS) line. However, when I do so, it also copies the tags attached to the object.

Is there a way to copy only the objects and not the tags?

Thank you for looking at the problem.

Thanks for confirmation @Cairyn and @r_gigante

Sorry for being picky. Just had some muscle memory from other softwares that wanted to port to C4D.
Anyhow, will settle for the Ctrl+LMB as specified by @Cairyn

Thanks again have a great day ahead!
