I want to have a button that enables SoftTransform with specified settings with a single LMB click.
For the option Enable I can only toggle, there is no Yes or No option.
How can I make a button with commands that always enables SoftTransform, not toggles it?
Hi @PodoTools
You just need to write out the entire command (Enable=Yes) in you macro. I’ve got this as an alias:
-SoftTransform Enable=Yes Enter SoftTransform Enter
This will enable SoftTransform and bring up the panel as well. I’ve got the panel “hidden” behind my layers panel, so the last repetition of the command (non-command prompt version) pops up the panel. If you don’t want the panel to appear, merely use:
-SoftTransform Enable=Yes Enter
And of course, if you want to stay “in” the command, omit the Enter.

PS I’ve got another alias to turn off SoftTransform and bring the layer panel back to the front:
-SoftTransform Enable=No Enter Layer
Ok, thanks, that is the solution.
I was never confronted with the fact that writing out the complete command is necessary.
In 8 : " _SoftTransform _E=Y _R=25 _S=S _Enter" works fine. In 9 it does not.
To prevent the panel to pop up I use the option : Visibility=No . btw this option does work when written as " _V N ", no needs to write it out completely.
Dag Erik -
In Rhino 9, this command has gotten a dialog box. That did not exist in Rhino 8.
As has always been the case, when you want to create a macro to automate a command, you need to use the “dashed” versions of commands that have dialogs.
-_SoftTransform _E=Y _R=25 _S=S _Enter
This works fine in Rhino 9.

Hadn’t noticed that one - thanks!

Ok,I knew, I thought I had done that, my mistake.
So it has nothing to do with writing out the whole command…
Thanks
