The error when using 'xront' is reported as an invalid function argument in the call to vp.reverseView().

I think the problem is something like one part of the script (the == operator) requires an exact case match with what is returned from viewpanel.mode while the parameter in the function call to reverseView() can tolerate different cases.

Do the scripts at https://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=3808.2 do what you wanted?

Hi Michael

Yes all is good.

The problem was my use of all lower case names instead of having the first letter a capital.

Perhaps a code fix is in order so the case of the names doesn't matter so the scripts in all cases work as intended.

Thanks.

That's something that would need to be fixed in the script.

Where your script is calling if ( a == b ) that's going to be a case sensitive comparison, that's how the Javascript == operator works with strings.

If you want it to be case insensitive you could do something like if ( a.toLowerCase() == b.toLowerCase() ) instead.

Hi Michael,

Understood about the behavior of ==.

But I was referring to this:

"while the parameter in the function call to reverseView() can tolerate different cases"

Why is it desirable that that function isn't case sensitive.

Not a big deal, just curious.

Hi Frederick,

It's a general design goal for the script API to try to do something with what it is given if it can reasonably figure it out.
