How to make a command to change layer with options?

Hello,
Do you have an idea how can i create a custom button to change an object to LayerABC (already set) and add custom (xxx,xxx,xx)RGB display Color?

_ChangeLayer ask always me to choose manually.

Thanks

Custom color to the object(s) or to the layer? Is it a fixed color or do you want to choose every time (with the color picker)?

3

Only for the object, I want to keep the layer color from my template.

Here is a simple script to do that. The layer name and colors are fixed, you can edit them in a text editor to anything you want.

import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs

targ_layer="LayerABC" #can be changed
color=[255,0,0] #can be changed

if rs.IsLayer(targ_layer):
    objs=rs.GetObjects(group=True,preselect=True)
    if objs:
        rs.EnableRedraw(False)
        rs.ObjectColorSource(objs,1)
        rs.ObjectColor(objs,color)
        [rs.ObjectLayer(obj,targ_layer) for obj in objs]
else:
    print "Target layer doesn't exist!"

To run the script via an alias or toolbar button, save the .py script file somewhere then use

! _-RunPythonScript "Full path to script"

(where the full path includes the filename and extension)
