Python Console

The Python Console can be found in the Script Menu -> Console, besides other loggers, a Python entry is available.

In the Python Console, code can be written and executed. It’s also the place where all Python strings are written (print, exception, c4d.GePrint()) whatever the context is (Script Manager, plugins, Python Generator, etc…). If a script/plugin doesn’t work, or something unexpected happens in the code execution, checking the Python Console for errors it’s always recommended.

The Python console can also be used to retrieve Symbol ID for Parameters. See Drag And Drop.

Note

The c4d module is imported by default. Code executed from the console is executed in the main thread.
