Script button for IsolateSelected and IsolateAll

[Val_west]

Hello i'm looking for an instruction to do a button which swap between IsolateSelected(null, 1); and IsolateAll(null, 1);

i think i have to use a script similar to this :

var pref = GetValue("preferences.Polygon.planarity" );
SetValue("preferences.Polygon.planarity", !pref, null);

if someone have got something this would be very useful. Thanks

Wouldn't be easier to simply map the commands in the hotkey editor? I have alt f1/f2 works perfect for me.

I haven't found any way to know if an object has been isolated or a view is isolating something. So you would need to create something to get this info, like a custom property to know when to change from Isolate to Unisolate (IsolateAll).

Now, IsolateSelected works with only one view, so you would need to check what view are you using now, and what view did you use to isolate.

The code wouldn't be 2 lines, but about 30~40 maybe.

A basic code working with only 1 view:

Code: Select all

var r = ActiveSceneRoot

if (!r.properties("iso") && selection.count >0){
	IsolateSelected();
	oPSet = r.AddProperty("CustomProperty", 0,"iso");
}
else{
	IsolateAll();
	if (r.properties("iso")) DeleteObj(r.properties("iso"));
}

BTW you could use ToggleValue for your planarity code. Apart from being a one line command it doesn't have any advantages though.

Code: Select all

ToggleValue("planarity", "preferences.polygon")

IsolateSelected without anything selected does the same than IsolateAll

OMG! thanks!
All this time I've been clicking the [X] button.
