Alias to set ByParent of Object Properties

Rhino Rhino for Windows
1

I am trying to create an alias that makes you set an objects object properties to ByParent.
I found this but changing to “ByParent” doesn’t work.

! -_Properties _Pause
_Object _Color _Layer
_Linetype Continuous
_PrintColor _Layer
_PrintLineWidth 0.01 !

Hej Nils -

You didn’t specify which property, and that seems to work fine for some. I’ve added a ticket to look into that for Color and Print Color.

Hi -
I’ve put access to the Section Style property on the list
→ RH-85436 Properties: Macro Access to Object Section Style

Is there any news on how to set object properties to all “By Parent” with an alias?

I’ve been using python to do this:

# Attributes by Layer
# Changes all object attributes to be "by parent"

import Rhino
import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs
import scriptcontext as sc

guidList = rs.GetObjects("Select objects", preselect = True)
if guidList:
	for g in guidList:
		obj = sc.doc.Objects.Find(g)
		obj.Attributes.ColorSource = Rhino.DocObjects.ObjectColorSource.ColorFromParent
		obj.Attributes.LinetypeSource = Rhino.DocObjects.ObjectLinetypeSource.LinetypeFromParent
		obj.Attributes.PlotColorSource = Rhino.DocObjects.ObjectPlotColorSource.PlotColorFromParent
		obj.Attributes.PlotWeightSource = Rhino.DocObjects.ObjectPlotWeightSource.PlotWeightFromParent
		obj.Select(True)
		obj.CommitChanges()
	print('Changed attributes to "By Parent".')
