I'm adding a script, added as a valuable shortcut in my everyday workflow here :

It basically allows you to select any object, and assigned to the letter H, Hide or Reveal your selected object. Like in Maya. Very Useful.

Not sure it is the best way to do it, that's why I'm posting it here.

import c4d
from c4d import gui

def main():

    allobj = doc.GetActiveObjects(c4d.GETACTIVEOBJECTFLAGS_CHILDREN)
    obj = object()
    for obj in allobj:
        editor = obj[c4d.ID_BASEOBJECT_VISIBILITY_EDITOR]
        render = obj[c4d.ID_BASEOBJECT_VISIBILITY_RENDER]

        if editor == 1 or render == 1:
            newstate = 2
        else:
            newstate = 1

        obj[c4d.ID_BASEOBJECT_VISIBILITY_EDITOR] = newstate
        obj[c4d.ID_BASEOBJECT_VISIBILITY_RENDER] = newstate


if __name__=='__main__':
    main()
    c4d.EventAdd()

That's great, I ended up using :

import c4d
from c4d.modules import snap

def main():
    bc = snap.GetSnapSettings(doc)
    currentMode = bc[c4d.VIEWPORT_SOLO_MODE]
    if currentMode == None:
        c4d.CallCommand(431000060) #  Viewport Solo Hierarchy
    elif currentMode == c4d.VIEWPORT_SOLO_MODE_OFF:
        c4d.CallCommand(431000060) #  Viewport Solo Hierarchy
    elif currentMode == c4d.VIEWPORT_SOLO_MODE_HIERARCHY:
        #bc[c4d.VIEWPORT_SOLO_MODE] = c4d.VIEWPORT_SOLO_MODE_OFF
        c4d.CallCommand(431000058) # Viewport Solo Off
    c4d.EventAdd()

if __name__=='__main__':
    main()

Thanks again!

@mrpinoux Adding that my first attempt came from :

@Cairyn
Thank you for your feedback!

I just watched : https://www.cineversity.com/vidplaylist/introduction_to_python_in_c4d/introduction_to_python_in_c4d_part_3c

And I'm obviously still a newbie.

One question : how do you know that the VIEWPORT_SOLO_xxx constants are found under the snap settings in the first place?

I tried looking for this here :
https://developers.maxon.net/docs/Cinema4DPythonSDK/html/search.html?q=VIEWPORT_SOLO&check_keywords=yes&area=default

and it returned nothing.

Just trying to get the proper reflexes to figure shit up by myself when possible :)

Hi!

So my goal is to create a simple command to toggle the solo function, instead of one command to solo, and one command to solo_off.

How can I go to create a python script in order to toggle these two commands :
431000059, # Viewport Solo Single
431000058) # Viewport Solo Off

So far, my attempt has been not working :

import c4d
from c4d import gui

def main():
    #obj = doc.GetActiveObject()
    #print(obj)
    values = (431000059, # Viewport Solo Single
                        431000058) # Viewport Solo Off
    done = False
    for num,x in enumerate(values):
        if x == doc.GetAction():
            new_v = values[(num+1)%len(values)]
            doc.SetAction(new_v)
            done = True
            break
        
    if not done:
        doc.setAction(values[0])
        
    c4d.EventAdd()


if __name__=='__main__':
    main()
    c4d.EventAdd()

So you can tell that I don't really know what I'm doing.

How can I tell python to look at the current obj selected? Then how can I tell it to execute the solo function?
Where can I find what environment the solo command lives in, as it doesn't seems to be with the doc.GetAction().

Any help to connect the dots would be very much appreciated.

Thanks!
