Select objects by their ObjectDisplayMode

Is it possible to select objects by their ObjectDisplayModes, either in Rhino or via scripting?

Thanks,

Hi Dan - I imagine it is possible in a script - I’ll take a look. But it will be viewport dependent of course.
@DanBayn - here’s a start - the workflow might be better reversed, to assume you want to select an object - let me know. It’s a bit crusty but it seems to work, I’ll see if I can make it a little simpler.

SelDisplayMode.py (3.4 KB)
To use the Python script use RunPythonScript, or a macro:

_-RunPythonScript "Full path to py file inside double-quotes"

-Pascal

Hi Pascal,

This could be pretty useful for us as we display our stock blocks for CNC as ghosted objects, but we like to hide those when we save our final project. Being able to select all ghosted objects would make this very easy to do.

Thanks, and have a good weekend,

Dan

Hi Dan,

I wrote one of these awhile back - maybe it’s useful for you…

Hi @Helvetosaur and @pascal,

Both of these scripts work well. I should be all set.

Thanks,

Dan
