Force redraw in Python

[Scott Ayers]

I don't know if this will help Rui.
But I've seen this used before: c4d.DrawViews( c4d.DA_ONLY_ACTIVE_VIEW|c4d.DA_NO_THREAD|c4d.DA_NO_REDUCTION|c4d.DA_STATICBREAK )

I think using just the c4d.DA_STATICBREAK flag by itself redraws the entire scene. I've used that in Coffee to update tags before. But I'm not really sure if it's what you're looking for.

Thank you for your help, Scott.
However, I'm getting an error telling:

RuntimeError: Illegal operation. Invalid cross-thread call.

Maybe it is invalid to refresh the views from inside a Python Generator.
What I need is to make my object (the Python Generator) Camera Dependent. So that it gets refreshed whenever a camera is moved or even if it moves itself.

Hi Rui,

in this case, pleas turn off "Optimize Cache" in the Python Generator. Now the generator is not cached anymore. You can now do the caching on your own if needed.

Maybe it is invalid to refresh the views from inside a Python Generator.
Exactly, calling DrawViews(...) and calling several other (gui)/functions are just allowed from the main thread.
