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
SetDetailsToWireframe(True)
Here is a link to the above:

Whats the easiest way to implement this script and how does one turn the script off? Sorry new to the scripting idea in Rhino.
Hi @DanSummers,
You’ll need to start here:

Or perhaps here:

dale,
Thank for the script, works like a charm! 
@dale - I’ve used Peter’s tools for this… this there a way to change only selected detail visual styles instead of all, across all sheets?? @phcreates
Hi @zale_orcid,
Rhino 8, Windows and Mac, allow you to select multiple details on the layout and change Display mode, locked status and scale using the Details page off off the Object properties panel.
Sincerely,
Mary Ann Fugier
