Hi All,

I'm trying to figure out how to change the Project scale and type (centimeters, meters etc etc) through python.

I think I've to use the UnitScale class, but the documentation is a bit unclear about this class
Reference:
https://developers.maxon.net/docs/Cinema4DPythonSDK/html/modules/c4d/CustomDataType/UnitScaleData/index.html#c4d.UnitScaleData

Any help?

It seems like it has a projection.

Please note that I don't know c4d, I'm just coding with the api but I don't know the software itself (I came from the blender's world)

Anyways, If you go to the UV edit, and you select your object and UVW tag, you can choose the UV mapping - Projection

let me attach a screenshot of what I'm trying to access. On the bottom right you can see there are some projections types, how do I set those through python?

Hi All,

I'm trying to create a new UVWTag (if an object doesn't already have one). Here's my basic code:

def main():
obj = doc.GetFirstObject()

if obj.GetTag(c4d.Tuvw) is None:
    tag = obj.MakeTag(c4d.Tuvw)
    tag[c4d.TEXTURETAG_PROJECTION]=3
    tag.SetName('Cubic_map')
    c4d.EventAdd()

The code runs howewer, cinema reports the following error later when trying to access the uv:

A problem with this project has been detected: Object "Cube" - Tag 5671 not in sync. Please save and contact MAXON Support with a description of the last used commands, actions or plugins.

What Am I missing?

Hi @m_adam ,

Let me give you more details.
I'm writing a plugin that processes the geometry of each object in a scene. After processing the geometry I want to export the file as obj and mtl. I followed the documentation to do this last part (linked in the first post) but the mtl is not exporting. On the other hand, on another machine, the mtl gets exported.

If you go to file->export->obj , after selecting the path to export to, you will see that a list of parameters pops up. In one of these parameters you can set to export or to don't export the materials. For some reasons, when I run the plugin, on my computer the material is not exported. How can I set this property and all the others that pop up in this dialog?

Hi everyone,

I'm struggling to find the options (like the ones visible in the gui, export materials/flip z axis and so on) in the python documentation.

SaveDocument takes a base document as parameter and I set its settings using SetDocumentData that points to this list of settings:

[https://developers.maxon.net/docs/Cinema4DPythonSDK/html/consts/DOCUMENTSETTINGS.html](link url)

I don't see all the options I can see in the gui. How do I set them?

Hi all,

I'm trying to export a file to fbx format, I'm using R20. On the graphic user interface there's the option to export as fbx format, while, on the python documentation there's not.
Here's the reference:

What am I missing?

Thank you this works nicecly

I'm using cinema 4D 20 student edition

Hi all,

I'm developing an application that runs a python plugin in cinema4d from commandline. Here's the problem: I can't see the console prints. How do I make c4d to print the logs in the terminal console instead of its own (the internal one under script->console)?

Thank you! This is so much clear now
