Bobo wrote this script so I could assign my spacebar to cycle through the viewports. I have been using it for awhile now and really like it. Thought I would include it in the scripts section for everyone, if you would like to try it also. You can also change the “viewNames = #” line to cycle other views too, like right or bottom. So the spacebar cycles the:
P = Perspective
L = Left
T = Top
B = Back
macroScript CycleView category:"Forum Help"
(
viewNames = #(#view_persp_user, #view_left, #view_top, #view_back)
theType = findItem viewNames (viewport.getType())
theType += 1
if theType > viewNames.count do theType = 1
viewport.setType viewNames[theType]
)
*Copy.
*Paste into a new Script Editor.
*Evaluate (Ctrl+E)
*Assign whatever shortcut you want to CycleView in the "Forum Help" category.
*Press the shortcut to cycle the current view.
i love it , thanks for sharing
Just a note:
Here are all possible values for viewport types as seen in the MAXScript Reference:
[left]#view_top [color=green]– Top[/color]
[/left]
[left]#view_bottom [color=green]– Bottom[/color]
[/left]
[left]#view_right [color=green]– Right[/color]
[/left]
[left]#view_left [color=green]– Left[/color]
[/left]
[left]#view_front [color=green]– Front[/color]
[/left]
[left]#view_back [color=green]– Back[/color]
[/left]
[left]#view_persp_user [color=green]– Perspective[/color]
[/left]
[left]#view_iso_user [color=green]– User[/color]
[/left]
[left]#view_camera [color=green]– Camera[/color]
[/left]
[left]#view_spot [color=green]– Light[/color]
[/left]
[left]#view_shape [color=green]– Shape[/color]
[/left]
[left]#view_grid [color=green]– Grid[/color]
[/left]
You can place any combination of them into the array to switch to other views using the script.
You still rock Bobo. Thank you very much for your help!
