Show gumball on selected objects

Hello,

Anyone knows how to show the Rhino gumball after select the objects by code like that:
RhinoDoc.ActiveDoc.Objects.Select(objIdList, true);

Thanks and regards!

Have you checked this example?

github.com

mcneel/rhinocommon/blob/master/examples/cs/ex_gumball.cs

using Rhino;
using Rhino.Geometry;


namespace examples_cs
{
  public class GumballExampleCommand : Rhino.Commands.TransformCommand
  {
    public override string EnglishName  { get { return "csExampleGumball"; } }

    protected override Rhino.Commands.Result RunCommand(RhinoDoc doc, Rhino.Commands.RunMode mode)
    {
      // Select objects to scale
      var list = new Rhino.Collections.TransformObjectList();
      var rc = SelectObjects("Select objects to gumball", list);
      if (rc != Rhino.Commands.Result.Success)
        return rc;

      var bbox = list.GetBoundingBox(true, true);
      if (!bbox.IsValid)

Thanks but this example is for a custom gumball, I would like to select and object by code and show up the Rhino Gumball.

Hi @Harper,

You might just want to script the Gumball command.

Thanks @Dale, it’s a good workaround!

@dale
Is there a way to do this in RhinoCommon yet?
My idea is that I want to save the chosen mode first before changing it so that I can revert it, once my command is finished.

To script the Gumball command? Sorry, not sure what’s being asked.

hi @dale,

sorry, I will be more specific.
Acutally I already put my question here:

In short:
The scripted version I understand that’s fine of course.
But, let’s say what if I wanted to create multiple gumballs, attached to multiple elements.
Of course now that I read this with a bit of distance it sounds quite hard to achieve.
But maybe there’s a way.
If not, the scripted variant will do of course.

Thanks,
T.
