Using a Python script or a RhinoScript to replicate a Make2D command

Hi!

I’ve been trying to find a script equivalent of the Make2D command so that I could make more uses of it without the restrictions that the command has. Does such a think even exist?

Hi @jesus.murillo,

Here is one such script:

def __CreateRootLayer():
    for i in range(1, 99):
        layer_name = "Make2d " + str(i).zfill(2) 
        layer_index = sc.doc.Layers.FindByFullPath(layer_name, -1)
        if layer_index < 0:
            layer_index = sc.doc.Layers.Add(layer_name, System.Drawing.Color.Black)
            return sc.doc.Layers[layer_index].Id

Hey Dale! Quick question, how do I activate the Hidden Lines for the views that are made? I have tried a couple of things with your script but I can’t seem to activate them
