Hello,

I need a shortcut that does multiple things in this order

1. Hide the grid (including the axis)
2. Change the background color to #FFF
3. Capture the active view to file (I already have an Alt+S shortcut to do that)
4. Put back the original background color and show the grid

I currently use Alt+S to save the view to a PNG file but it also screenshot the grid
I use the grid + the default background color for modelling, but I want to take screenshots on white background without always going into the options everytime I need to take a screenshot :)

It would be even more awesome to have the screenshot directly copied in the clipboard so I can paste it into photoshop.

Thanks for the help in advance

Hi DesuDeus, see this previous post for a description on some various script methods that can be combined like that:
http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=1049.32

So one that does what you want would be like this:

script: /* Custom screenshot */ var prev_background = moi.view.viewportBackgroundColor; moi.view.viewportBackgroundColor = 0xFFFFFF; moi.view.lineWidth = 4; moi.grid.display = false; moi.grid.showXYAxes = false; moi.ui.getActiveViewport().renderToClipboard( 2560, 2560 ); moi.view.lineWidth = 1; moi.grid.display = true; moi.grid.showXYAxes = true; moi.view.viewportBackgroundColor = prev_background;


This one uses the renderToClipboard() method which generates an image of a custom resolution (2560x2560 in the above one) and places it directly in the clipboard.

Because it's going to a high resolution it also temporarily increases the line width of the display as well - if you take that part out you can get an effect of fainter lines if you then resize the image down.
