Show and Hide Commands

[clintonman]

I just ran Hide All & Show All in a scene with 595 nodes
Quick Hide All does not hide Cameras, Spot, not Projector lights
I confirmed that their Object hider nodes are disconnected

Have you tried the Switch Workspace Main toolbar script in the Objects - tS7.61 Update objects library?

Must be a bug. The QuickShow and QuickHide work with cameras, spotlights etc.

Switch Workspace Main toolbar, that's great. Just have to get rid of the little toolbar.

This is why it is not working
!Node.Exists(curNode + "/Object hider")

Yep, that's the ticket.

I thought I was able to show a status message in the Quick Show All & Quick Hide All, if there were objects in the scene with no ORA
Now it is not working
Is there a why to do that with all four Quick scripts?

Code: Select all

if(!Node.Exists(item +  "/Object Render Attributes")) {
var util = System.CreateDO("Clintons3D Package/Utility functions");
util.SetStatusMessage("Alert...There is one or more Objects in your scene that does not have Object Render Attributes", 5000)

I'll see what I can do.

Here is a version of the switch main toolbar script.
It works in 4View, Default, floating and yafaray layouts and it closes and opens the small main toolbar. It doesn't open it in place so it would have to be dragged back into place.

Added your check to QuickHideAll
I don't think it's needed for QuickShowAll because you don't need an ORA to show something you can already see.

Interesting new way!
Thanks!
I tried the same for the QuickHide, but it does not work

if(Node.Exists(curNode + "/Object hider") && Node.Exists(curNode + "/Object Render Attributes")) {
util.SetNodeValueInt(curNode + "/Object hider", "Invisible", true)
util.SetNodeValueInt(curNode + "/Object hider", "Invisible", false)
util.SetNodeValueInt(curNode +  "/Object Render Attributes", "Cast shadows", 0)
util.SetNodeValueInt(curNode +  "/Object Render Attributes", "Receive shadows", 0)
Node.Disconnect(curNode + "/Object hider", "Invisible", curNode + "/Object Render Attributes", "Invisible")
util.SetNodeValueInt(curNode +  "/Object Render Attributes", "Invisible", -1);
}

You never cease to amaze me!
One thing though, all though you can Ctrl + Drag the Main2 toolbar back into place, it is different in how I set up the layouts
Here is a different version that Only works in the 4View, Default, Floating, and Yafaray layouts
New:
Opens in a floating panel
If you are in one of the above layouts, it loads that layout, else the installer is removed with an Alert
Modal questions to remove the Main2 toolbar and remove the installer
Cancel button

my confusing result before I figured out what was happening


The dialog is confusing. Maybe the "Save your Layout Remove the installer?" should be 2 dialogs. It looks like it's asking to save the layout and remove the installer. or maybe it can be something wordier like "Remove the installer? Save your Layout after choosing yes or no".

Maybe it should also say that the toolbar will update after the selection is made since it's asking to remove the installer when the toolbar looks like it hasn't changed.

}

Here's a quick hide with the status message.

Don't know what all that code is for but if it doesn't slow it down go for it.
