SetObjectDisplayMode now asking new question, and not working?

[Alan_Farkas (Alan Farkas (he/him))]

Hey guys

I updated to the most recent Service Release Candidate and now I get the following when I try to do SetObjectDisplayMode:

“Choose attributes for selected objects:”

Any idea what’s happening?

Hi @Alan_Farkas - I believe that’s the standard wording in the command line for that command. You should also see (Mode=UseView) right by it. This should be a clickable option that allows you to choose a different display mode for the selected object. Is it not the case on your end?

[Alan_Farkas (Alan Farkas (he/him))]

Correct - I don’t have that text string anymore. that’s the problem

[Vanessa (Vanessa Steeg)]

Thanks for clarifying! It seems to be working here (in a slightly more recent version that is).Can you try starting Rhino in Safe Mode? You won’t actually be able to change to another display mode other than Wireframe, but at least we can see if the Mode=UseView option is available. Just want to make sure it isn’t one of the external plugins installed playing tricks.

[Alan_Farkas (Alan Farkas (he/him))]

Thanks, Vanessa. Do you work for Rhino?

I won’t be able to do safe mode right now during work. Will have to try maybe tonight or tmrw morn.

[Vanessa (Vanessa Steeg)]

Sounds good! And yes, I work for McNeel. It’s been a while now ;-).

[Alan_Farkas (Alan Farkas (he/him))]

Tried Safe Mode - it still has the same problem

[Vanessa (Vanessa Steeg)]

Hmmm… That is odd. I just installed SR15 here and it is working. Try running the command > pressing M + Enter > to see if the command is there and working, but just not printing to the Command line. If it is there, you should get to a prompt like this one:

Also, can you send a screenshot while the command is running? Maybe there’s something we’re missing that we can catch in the image.

[Alan_Farkas (Alan Farkas (he/him))]

I had tried that. It didnt work. Nothing happens while running the command. It just says that line I originally posted and nothing else.

Thanks,

Alan

Hi Alan - are you typing the command or getting it from a button, or?

-Pascal

[Alan_Farkas (Alan Farkas (he/him))]

typing it. tried allowing auto-complete to do it, and also tried typing full string. Will try a button…

Tried. No love. Attached screengrab of the “process”

[pascal (Pascal Golay)]

Hi Alan - shooting in the dark but by any chance do you have a non-standard alias that might be getting in the way? is there anything in Options > Aliases that looks suspicious?

-Pascal

[Alan_Farkas (Alan Farkas (he/him))]

[pascal (Pascal Golay)]

Hi Alan - that looks reasonable - can you do one more thing - run the command and after it gives you the unexpected feedback, exit and press F2 - copy and paste here as many lines of command history as needed to get to the command before the weird one…

-Pascal

[Alan_Farkas (Alan Farkas (he/him))]

opened new file and made a cube and tried it.

[pascal (Pascal Golay)]

@jeff - do you have any idea why Alan might be getting this prompt when running SetObjectDisplayMode

Command: SetObjectDisplayMode
Choose attributes for selected objects

instead of

Command: SetObjectDisplayMode
Select objects to set their mode

?

BTW, @Alan_Farkas - does it do anything to set the mode??

-Pascal

[Alan_Farkas (Alan Farkas (he/him))]

and FYI even if I have the object selected to begin with (or select it afterward) it’s the fact that I get “choose attributes for selected object” instead of the text that usually has “(Mode=UseView)”

[jeff (Jeff LaSor)]

It sounds like command collision… Do we know what command (if any) outputs

“Choose attributes for selected objects”

??

What happens if you type the English-interactive version of the command?

For example:

-_SetObjectDisplayMode

Note the hyphen and underscore.

Any different?

-Jeff

[Alan_Farkas (Alan Farkas (he/him))]

no difference

Newest update(s) of Rhino 6 - Still not getting SetObjDisp to work. Anything we can do?
