Selected Layers

Hi…

How do I can get a list of selected layers?

thx…

The Rhino SDK does not expose a method to retrieve the layers that are selected in the Layers panel. There is already a standing wish for this:

Just curious, why do you need to know what layers are selected?

Hi Dale,

I’m developing a plugin for a shoe company, the application uses a database size and creates all sizes from a few mathematical calculations, the end user asked me to select a layer to move all sizes resulting in the selected layer.

Sorry for my English, I’m Spanish.

Something like the command:
ChangeToCurrentLayer

Hi David,

What programming language are you developing in? The Rhino SDK has functions for selecting layers…

the end user asked me the option to multiselect in layers, not necessarily going to work with a layer … thanks for the tip

If you want to select a layer, use:

Rhino.UI.Dialogs.ShowSelectLayerDialog()

If you want to select more than one layer, use:

Rhino.UI.Dialogs.ShowSelectMultipleLayersDialog()
