Hi, this is probably one of those real easy things that I’m just not getting… I’ve created a custom display mode which is Shaded with the lines turned off, called it ShadedNoLines. Now I’m trying to have it as a button option on my Popup Menu, but when I enter the command text that I think it should…

Superb, thanks! I’d tried !_SetDisplayMopde Mode_ShadedNoLines but that only brought up the option to change the display mode. Haha, knew it would be something simple! Thanks :slight_smile:

Hi, I have a similar problem: I created a custom rendered shadening display mode named: MY-RENDER-ON-BLACK so as suggested I creatd a button where left click has: !_SetDisplayMode Mode=“MY-RENDER-ON-BLACK” right mouse button click has: !_SetDisplayMode _Viewport=_All _Mode=“MY-RENDER-ON-BLACK” …

[image] mirkos: !_SetDisplayMode Mode=“MY-RENDER-ON-BLACK” '_-SetDisplayMode Mode="MY-RENDER-ON-BLACK" Replace the ! with a ' and use a dash in front of _SetDisplayMode Edit - Hmm, guess the dash is not needed - don’t know why mine have them - must have modified them at some point.

Just a slight tune up, @JSD - if you are using display mode changes as you work, you probably do not want the ! at the start of the macro - this will stop any running command. Instead you can put the ’ prefix, with no space, to tell Rhino that the following command is nested (i.e. can be run insi…

Great tip, thanks Pascal, just tried it and works great.

Thanks for the quick reply! I tried but still not working… not sure where the ! came from… (I thought it was a override for language settings…) anyways, I tried: '_SetDisplayMode _Viewport=_MY-RENDER-ON-BLACK replicating the standard Shaded view button which I cloned and also: '_-SetDisplayMo…

[image] mirkos: '_-SetDisplayMode Mode=“MY-RENDER-ON-BLACK” Try '_-SetDisplayMode Mode=MY-RENDER-ON-BLACK It does seem a little weird how this works with display modes and quotes. -Pascal

also here… not sure where the quotes came from :sweat_smile: but it doesn’t matter… no change… :-\ Rhino still stops and asks which shading mode I want to use. I wonder if i CAN change to any shading mode that is not a standard one… or maybe I need to remove all the dashes form the name? I trie…

Wow, that is weird. I have a mode name that has a space in it - “Shaded Light” and I made a button for it. The macro is '_SetDisplayMode _Viewport=_All "Shaded Light" If I click the button, only the active viewport is set to Shaded Light. If I click it again, all the others are… Even weirder -…

[image] Helvetosaur: it has removed the space from the name… Right, this has always been the case, I think , I can’t remember right now why Jeff did it this way… -Pascal
