kirill777

Hello!World!A good day to you!

Perhaps somebody know hou can i create One costom key

to assign many kinds of actions.

For example (camera toggle:left,right,top,bottom.4 action on one button)

My idea obout it someway to use Runtime command list

 Waiting for you response!

 Thank You!

Hi kirill, scripts like these are easy to make and edit. The logic here is to check the current panel's camera and toggle to the next one in the list. This script isn't very smart though, so it won't switch if the scene doesn't already have left and right cameras, and they aren't named the same. You can create a custom hotkey, and paste this in.

edit: is the double line thing still messing with script formatting? This looks nicer than using the code format block.

string $currentPanel = `getPanel -withFocus`;

if (`getPanel -to $currentPanel` == "modelPanel") {

    string $currentCamera = `modelPanel -q -cam $currentPanel`;

    if ($currentCamera == "left") {

        lookThroughModelPanel right $currentPanel;

    }

    else if ($currentCamera == "right") {

        lookThroughModelPanel top $currentPanel;

    }

    else if ($currentCamera == "top") {

        lookThroughModelPanel bottom $currentPanel;

    }

    else if ($currentCamera == "bottom") {

        lookThroughModelPanel left $currentPanel;

    }

}
