"View B" default camera

[keeper]

How to setup default view of "View B" to something else than "Camera"? For example User view.

For the shelf shortcuts you can right click the shelf button and add
vw.setattributevalue "activecamera:b", "User"
to the script commands
For the initial view I don't know, you'll probably need to create a custom layout with a different cam set it the view properties.

Found a solution. A simple custom "Startup" event plugin with code:

// Callback for the Startup event.
function Startup_OnEvent( in_ctxt )
{
Application.LogMessage("Startup_OnEvent called",siVerbose);

// TODO: Put your code here.
var views = desktop.ActiveLayout.Views.Find("View Manager");
views.SetAttributeValue( "activecamera:b", "User");

// Return value is ignored as this event can not be aborted.
return true;
}

You'll probably want to add another event for when you start a new scene too, I use what you have plus this(in vbs though) so that view 'B' defaults to 'User' at all times after launching the application.

Code: Select all

' Callback for the siOnEndNewSceneEvent event.
function siOnEndNewSceneEvent_OnEvent( ctxt )
	Application.LogMessage "siOnEndNewSceneEvent_OnEvent called",siVerbose

' 	TODO: Put your code here.
set vw = Desktop.ActiveLayout.Views.Find( "View Manager" )
vw.setattributevalue "activecamera:b","user"

' 	This event can be aborted by returning true or false if you don't want to abort.
	siOnEndNewSceneEvent_OnEvent = false
end function
