Rotate an environment by code

@johnc,

you are right. Python just prints an error in this case. Below some Python code for completeness to handle the case when no environment texture has been assigned:

import Rhino

def ZRotateCurrentEnvironment(deg=0.0):
    
    # get current environment
    env = Rhino.Render.RenderEnvironment.CurrentEnvironment
    if not env: return None
    
    # get environment texture
    tex = env.FindChild("Texture")
    if not tex: return None
    
    # rotate environment
    context = Rhino.Render.RenderContent.ChangeContexts.UI
    tex.SetRotation(Rhino.Geometry.Vector3d(0.0, 0.0, deg), context)
    print "Current rotation = {}".format(tex.GetRotation().Z)

if __name__=="__main__":
    ZRotateCurrentEnvironment(90)

c.
