If all the geometry options are chosen, the geometry consists of a HyperNURBs object, which contains a Connect object, which contains a null object, which contains the sweep objects that define the axons and dendrites.A neuron should appear in your viewport.In the open file dialog, choose the swc file and click 'OK'.An import options dialog should appear choose options for imported geometry, and click 'Import File'.In the Script Manager in C4D load the NeuronBuild script and click 'Execute'.Open the Script Manager in C4D, the script should be in the pop-up menu at the top of the window.add to your C4D Scripts folder (find the user prefs folder via C4D's Preferences dialog the Scripts folder is within the Library folder).Note: use of neuromorpho files comes with an obligation to cite and the original publication see here. The soma object is disabled by default, since they rarely produce acceptable geometry the soma can be re-enabled by digging into the hierarchy. Note: soma (cell body) definitions vary from file to file this script assumes a three point spline In C4D these correspond to the world units defined in your project settings. The reconstruction units are μm (micrometers). Many thanks to the thousands of researchers and students who have populated the neuromorpho repository.
