Acces from rhino command line

Hi,

Is there a chance for accessing some settings from rhino command line?
I use custom buttons in rhino a lot (with various commands in them) - It would be a huge time saver if I could click my custom button to, for example, show/hide render viewport. I know it's already a button, but usually I have to switch tabs and navigate.

Same thing for render settings.
For example - command for changing exposure: OctaneExposure: value - I could simply create couple of buttons with various render settings, and apply them by single click in my popup menu in Rhino :D

Regards,
Mac

Hi Mac

This is relatively easy to implement for some functions. Open/Close Viewport is not an issue - and is in the next version (available in about 5 mins). Changing the exposure via a command is more complex (but could be done). If I implement this, I would like to have well thought-out spec, with a complete list of commands and what they should do - so it all gets one once. So over to you guys to decide the best set of commands to implement :-)

If you have a certain set of rendertarget settings you want to reuse, rightclick the Settings tree and Export Rendertarget Settings.

Hi Paul,

So I can work on the probable command list, right ? :D

As for the render target settings export/import - I read a thread about it - it is useful, yes.

Yes, however pls prioritise in usefulness from 1 to 10 so I can cull any low value, high effort commands :-)
