Hey all,

I've been trying to implement a plugin idea i had because i needed to create spline from point objects i have.

but i've been looking through the SDK and cant find a way to alter the splines points!

Ultimately i want to give it a object of points then the plugin to find the position of each point and then create a spline point at the same position.

I can create a spline object or spline primitive and make it editable but then i cant move the spline points.

Also when i want to use the function "FindObject" i get an error telling me that the values are incompatable "nil/Object"?

for example i could use the following
var obj = doc->FindObject("MyObject");
but cinema 4D would generate the above error!

Can anybody help?

Thanks

Manwich

P.S I'm using Cinema 4D XL6.3

Hi,

I'm not sure about your point, but I'd say before creating spline points you have to create a spline object. Also before creating spline points, the setting of VariableChanged class is needed for the spline object. An example is found in

NURBSPrm.zip (http://www.interq.or.jp/aquarius/ikeda3dr/movie/data/NURBSPrm.zip)

(very very simple plugins, and you could see that in NP Cone or NP Pyramid .cof files)

hope this helps anyway.:)

my suggestion would be to simlpy upgrade C4D since this tool already exists in future versions I also believe the is a poly line to spline plugin available for version 6, check in the plugin thread in the resource subforum
