Hi Bravlin,

There isn't any way set up to access that from script right now but I can add script access to it for the next v4 beta.

Just to make sure I understand, you mean a way to trigger by script the same thing that happens when you click on this selection dot spot in the scene browser? :

Yes. I guess the similar query interface will be handy for a group selection also.

Theas thread helps with performance issue a lot.

script: /*SAVE SELECT TO STYLE*/moi.command.execCommand ('var gd = moi.geometryDatabase; var activstyleidx = moi.geometryDatabase.activeStyle; var objects = gd.getObjects(); var savedobjsnum = 0;var si = moi.geometryDatabase.findStyle( "selectset", true ).index; for ( var i = 0; i < objects.length; ++i ) { var obj = objects.item(i); if(obj.styleIndex == si){ obj.styleIndex=activstyleidx; obj.selected=true; savedobjsnum +=1; } else { if(obj.isBRep) { var subs = obj.getSubObjects(); for ( var j = 0; j < subs.length; ++j ) { var sub = subs.item(j); if(sub.styleIndex == si){sub.styleIndex=activstyleidx; sub.selected=true; savedobjsnum +=1; }}}}}if(savedobjsnum == 0){var selobjects = gd.getSelectedObjects(); selobjects.setProperty( "styleIndex", si ); }');

Hi Bravlin, some of the advice in that thread is outdated now as of MoI v4. In v4 MoI no longer runs command scripts in a separate process, they are run inside the main MoI process and so there is no longer any performance gain from moving functions from a .js file into the .htm file.

XSI-like hide toggler. Hide and unhide only last selected object (in our case last named object).

script: /*HIDE*/ var selobjs = moi.geometryDatabase.getSelectedObjects();if(selobjs.length > 0){var allobjs = moi.geometryDatabase.getObjects();for ( var i = 0; i < allobjs.length; ++i ){var obj = allobjs.item(i);if(obj.name == "lasthide")obj.name="";}selobjs.SetProperty("name", "lasthide");selobjs.SetProperty("hidden", true);}else{moi.geometryDatabase.selectNamed("lasthide");selobjs = moi.geometryDatabase.getSelectedObjects();selobjs.SetProperty("name", "");selobjs.SetProperty("hidden", false);}
