Change all Detail view display settings

DanSummers · September 11, 2017, 1:53pm

Hi Guys,

Working on a LARGE file, with many layouts, I wonder is there a way to set all view ports (detail views) to wireframe display without having to go to each layout and manually change it. This takes way to long.

Cheers

I worked this one out in python with the help of this forum a while ago. I have another one that lists the options of view style, then applies your selection to all detail views.


import Rhino
import scriptcontext as sc
def SetDetailsToWireframe(debug):

# Find the wireframe display mode

display_mode = Rhino.Display.DisplayModeDescription.FindByName(“Wireframe”)

if display_mode:

DebugPrint(display_mode, debug)

# Get all of the document’s page views

page_views = sc.doc.Views.GetPageViews()

if page_views:

# Process each page view

for page_view in page_views:

DebugPrint(page_view, debug)

# Get all of the page view’s details

details = page_view.GetDetailViews()

if details:

# Process each page view detail

for detail in details:

DebugPrint(detail, debug)

# If the detail’s display mode is not wireframe…

if detail.Viewport.DisplayMode.Id != display_mode.Id:

# …set it to wireframe.

detail.Viewport.DisplayMode = display_mode

detail.CommitViewportChanges()

# Redraw the page

page_view.Redraw()
def DebugPrint(object, debug):

if object and debug:

print object
