Hi forum, can an alias or macro ( or already is) be made to toggle between these display options on a single button ? Hopefully wouldn’t cancel out a command while inside a command. Thanks ,Mark
hi Mark,
how about putting this on your button: (all in one line)
-_RunScript (if UCase(Rhino.ViewDisplayModeEx())="WIREFRAME" then Call Rhino.ViewDisplayModeEx(,"SHADED") Else Call Rhino.ViewDisplayModeEx(,"WIREFRAME") )

Thank you Jarek. Guessing it will be a big help.
If it works, it will always go from Wireframe to Shaded, but if the display mode is different than shaded it will always go to Wireframe.
hth,

Hi Mark --There is already a button in the Standard toolbar.
Didn’t test it within a command; might work?
Cheers @Jarek

Years ago, before we could get much display performance from hardware, a common workflow was to work in a Wireframe display, but quickly Shade a viewport to inspect something. When a viewport is Shaded (not be be confused with the Shaded working display mode), you can zoom, rotate, and pan, but not draw.
As soon as you start a command to makes something, Shade flicks off.
This tool is the gray icon without the grid behind it:
It’s still a very efficient way to work.

Hi Mark,
I have an alias for each of the display modes I use. Everyone is different but I prefer the command line to custom buttons.
cheers,

Or use a gaming mouse with plenty of extra buttons such like Logitech G502 and assign your favourite commands to whichever button you prefer.
