Zooming BoundingBox in DetailView not working correctly

[tobias.stoltmann]

Hi, I have a question that might have been asked before here:

ZoomBoundingBox not working in Perspective view

@dale, @stevebaer, When I execute the following code, which is the last part of a Python script for importing pointclouds: # Specify the final view to display at end of script. final = 'Perspective'; final_view = None # Get list of all views. allviews = doc.Views.GetViewList(True, True) # Process each view to remove clutter (axes & grid), switch to Wireframe view and fit cloud to view. for view in allviews: viewport = view.ActiveViewport viewport.ConstructionAxesVisible = False vie…

So I try to create several layouts of items and prepare the detailview like that:
It is working for 1 single operation.
But when I execute it in a loop it is not always doing it correctly.
What am I missing?

def _SetUpView(objs, pageview, detailview):
    geos = [sc.doc.Objects.Find(id).Geometry for id in objs]
    # My method for the boundingbox
    bbox = BBox(geos, Rhino.Geometry.Plane.WorldXY).CreateBoxAroundItems(self.Geometry, Rhino.Geometry.Plane.WorldXY)

    sc.doc.Views.ActiveView = pageview
    pageview.SetPageAsActive()
    pageview.SetActiveDetail(detailview.Id)
    detailview.DetailGeometry.IsProjectionLocked = False

    detailview.Viewport.ZoomBoundingBox(bbox)
    detailview.DetailGeometry.IsProjectionLocked = True
    detailview.CommitChanges()
    sc.doc.Views.ActiveView.Redraw()

    pageview.SetPageAsActive()
    sc.doc.Views.ActiveView = pageview
    sc.doc.Views.ActiveView.Redraw()

Thanks,
T.

Hi @tobias.stoltmann,

Without being able to run your code, it’s difficult to know what doing wrong.

Have you seen this thread?

Layout ZoomBoundingBox fails?

Hi everyone, I am currently working on a Python script that enables me to create multiple layouts out of bounding curves and zooms the detail to each one of them. For some reason, the script only fails for the 1st curve on the list, not zooming in correctly. If you test for 1 curve (by only puttting on curve on the selection layer) the error becomes apparent. import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs import scriptcontext as sc import Rhino def AddLayout(): sc.doc.PageUnitSystem = Rhino.UnitSystem.Mi…

@dale, thanks. This works.
