Full Version: Scripting Object Visibility?

Hi shayne,

re:

> it, copying the volume cm3 to the clipboard

It would be easiest to do this by making a customized modified version of the _cvolume script.

Please attach the _cvolume .htm and .js files that you currently use and I'll show you what to modify to do those things.

Hi Shayne, try this version - instead of using selected objects it will use whatever solids are on style = gold whether selected or not.

And copies volume value to the clipboard.

Hi Michael
Similar to hide unhide by style

As I cad new rings next to old designs I constantly have to hide/unhide the old one to clear the screen

Try this one:

script: /* Toggle visibility of given name */ var name = 'old'; var item = moi.ui.sceneBrowser.objects.find( name ); if ( item ) { var any_hidden = false; var objs = moi.geometryDatabase.getObjects(); for ( var i = 0; i < objs.length && !any_hidden; ++i ) { var obj = objs.item( i ); if ( obj.name == name && obj.hidden ) { any_hidden = true; } var subobjs = obj.getSubObjects(); for ( var j = 0; j < subobjs.length && !any_hidden; ++j ) { var subobj = subobjs.item(j); if ( subobj.name == name && subobj.hidden ) { any_hidden = true; } } } } if ( any_hidden ) { item.alterStatus( 'show' ); } else { item.alterStatus( 'hide' ); }
