Need A Script

Hello,

I'm looking to write a script that will scroll through X objects in the tree and disable "show connections." I know you can do this globally and locally through the GUI but I want to control X as I am building a very large model. Any help? I'm new to scrip writing. Also, how to execute the script?

Thanks

put this in a script window:

forobjecttreeunder(model())
{
    if(switch_selected(a,-1))
    {
        if(switch_hideconnectors(a,-1))
        {
            switch_hideconnectors(a,0);
        }
        else
        {
            switch_hideconnectors(a,1);
        }
    }
}

It will switch showing the connections on all the selected (red) objects.

Also, you can manage groups of objects through the "Groups" option in the sidebar instead of manually selecting them each time. Bear in mind that Alex's code toggle's the connector setting so you probably don't want to mix those switched on with those that aren't.

Gavin,
If you didn't already know, there is a button in the ortho view's side panel that already does what Alex's script does. It's at Edit Selected Objects | Switches | Toggle Ports. This option, however, will sync the toggles of the selected objects, whereas Alex's flips each one so they're not necessarily synchronized. You can use the Groups panel in conjunction with this option to get what you need.
