I’m using Python to automate capturing views. The idea is to create a new floating viewport, then iterate through the named views to update the viewport and then run CaptureToBitmap. The problem is that I can only work out how to do this for the active viewport, rather than the one I have just creat…

#Create a new floating view new_view = Rhino.RhinoDoc.ActiveDoc.Views.Add(new_view_name, perspective, rect, True) #set new view display mode d_m = Rhino.Display.DisplayModeDescription.FindByName(display_mode) new_view.ActiveViewport.DisplayMode = d_m active_view_nam…

    sc.doc.Views.Redraw()
