Alias macro for setting object color?

[Toni_Osterlund]

I would like to have an alias for setting an object color, eg. “Green”, “Red”.

It’s easy to define as a button, as here by @Helvetosaur

Script or Macro to set a display color to selected objects

I have this: """Changes selected objects' colors to a fixed color (argument) Script by Mitch Heynick 15.12.18""" import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs def MakeColor(color): block_count=0 selected=rs.GetObjects("Select objects to apply color",preselect=True) if selected: objs=[] for obj in selected: if rs.IsBlockInstance(obj): block_count+=1 else: objs.append(obj) if objs: rs.EnableRedraw(False) rs.ObjectColor(objs,col…

But the alias was a bit trickier.
I tested:
!_-Properties _Object _Color _Object Green _Enter _Enter
Which works well if an object is selected, but without it just goes into an endless loop for some reason.

Is there a solution im not seeing here? An easy fix?

@Toni_Osterlund

!_-Properties _Object _Color _Object Green _Enter _Enter

Try this:
! _-Properties _Pause _Object _Color _Object 0,255,0 _EnterEnd
(you need a pause to choose your objects)

I would always specify the color in RGB.

Worked like a charm, thank you!
The _EnterEnd was new to me.

The _EnterEnd was new to me

It’s just a shorthand for Rhino to put in as many Enters as needed to go back up the command sublevels and finish the command. Sometimes the levels can be nested three deep (or more?).
