No, its a different command. `SIAddPointOnCurve adds points as a result of execution, while result of execution of AddPointOnCurveTool() should be an activated 'Add-Point' tool in viewport. Anyway, I used content search inside dll files inside softimage folders looking for "AddPoint", "PointOnCurve" etc strings and found the correct name for the command. So there are three commands instead: AddPointOnCurveToolByCVs, AddPointOnCurveToolByKnotPoints, AddPointOnCurveToolByBezierKnotPoints which is kinda logical, since in UI also three commands available. And I tried some name combos before but turned out I was adding 'ByCVs' in wrong place ( AddPointOnCurveByKnotsTool ) heh. >From now on searching inside dlls would be my last resort trick :) On Saturday, November 5, 2022 at 1:19:11 PM UTC+2 marco...@gmail.com wrote:
