Scriptable Rotate around CPlane Z-Axis

[Alasdair]

I started writing a macro that toggles the view rotation between “Around World Axes” and “Rotate around CPlane Z-Axis”, but the latter doesn’t seem to be available when calling -options from the command line.

-Options View Rotate AroundWorldAxes=Yes Enter Enter Enter

I checked the documention and this doesn’t seem to be possible using rhinocommon either.

At one stage there was a test command

Rotate around CPlane axes

@SamPage, the TestRotateViewCPlane command enables or disables this type of view rotation. Give it a try and let me know what you think. https://mcneel.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/RH-30994 – Dale

Also, when calling the macro, there are lots command line options it passes through and the command line flashes alot. Is there a similar function to “disable redraw” but for the command line?

Hi Alasdair - you can suppress the command line flash by putting ~ at the start:

~-Options

The options are still there but do not print.
You can also use NoEcho to stop the command line feedback during a command.

The CPlane axis option does need to be added - thanks.

Nice one, thanks

@pascal

~

Does that suppress for an entire macro, or only the command it appears before?

e.g
~BoundingBox _output _solids _Enter
vs
~BoundingBox ~_output ~_solids ~_Enter

The first one…
