Hello Michael -
I see, and that probably explains why I was having a hard time extracting it, so to speak. Thank you for the explanations as always :)

On that topic, are there any shortcuts/commands related to the Styles tab ? Like for instance to put the current selected objects inside a given color layer, and hiding/unhiding a Style altogether. This could be very useful for quickly turning off construction guides I believe.

Hi Pior,

re:

Yes there are several ways that scripts can access and modify style data.

That would go like this:

script: var style = moi.geometryDatabase.findStyle( 'Green', true /*CreateIfNotFound*/ ); moi.geometryDatabase.getSelectedObjects().setProperty( 'styleIndex', style.index );


> and hiding/unhiding a Style altogether.

That's done by hiding/unhiding objects that have a given style index, like this:

script: /* Hide objects with style = Green */ var style = moi.geometryDatabase.findStyle( 'Green', true /*CreateIfNotFound*/ ); var objs = moi.geometryDatabase.getObjects(); for ( var i = 0; i < objs.length; ++i ) { var obj = objs.item(i); if ( obj.styleIndex == style.index ) { obj.hidden = true; } }

script: /* Show objects with style = Green */ var style = moi.geometryDatabase.findStyle( 'Green', true /*CreateIfNotFound*/ ); var objs = moi.geometryDatabase.getObjects(); for ( var i = 0; i < objs.length; ++i ) { var obj = objs.item(i); if ( obj.styleIndex == style.index ) { obj.hidden = false; } }

Hello Michael -
That worked beautifully, as always ! I find myself using only one or two Styles beyond the default Black (to store a few sketched lines and templates) so all I had to do was to assign a few hotkeys. This is working great, thanks :)
