Selecting Splines by Display Colour
Hi all,

I imported an illustrator file using CV-Artsmart and I got around 7500 splines with the Use Colour option activated in the Basic tab and a Display Colour assigned to each one.

How can I tell Cinema to select splines that share the same Display colour?

Since there are so many splines I need to find an automatic way of doing this.

Thanks in advance!
M.

import c4d

def iterateHierarchy(obj, doc, colorToMatch):
    while obj:
        if obj[c4d.ID_BASEOBJECT_COLOR] == colorToMatch and isinstance(obj, c4d.SplineObject):
                doc.SetActiveObject(obj, c4d.SELECTION_ADD)
        iterateHierarchy(obj.GetDown(), doc, colorToMatch)
        obj = obj.GetNext()
def main():
    obj = op
    if not obj: return
    
    color = obj[c4d.ID_BASEOBJECT_COLOR]
    
    iterateHierarchy(doc.GetFirstObject(), doc, color)
    
    c4d.EventAdd()
if __name__=='__main__':
    main()

It will select all splines that have the same color than the object you currently select.

Yes of course, just remove "and isinstance(obj, c4d.SplineObject)" and it will select all kind of objects.
