Collapse Group

FasterScene

I have developed a script that will loop through a large number of objects and apply a material.

That part works fine.

The problem is that after the script has executed, the scene shows all my groups that I created objects in expanded and selected.

I made a loop that deselects.

Now I am looking for code that will allow my parent object to collapse in the Scene tab.

The following calls don't seem to work:

MyObject.select(); // Iselect the object first

MyObject.setCollapsed(); // In documentation but does throws an error 

MyObject.closeSelected(); // Does not seem to do anything

 

Also is there a nice easy way of unselecting all objects in a scene programatically and collapsing the open structures to root nodes?

Omniflux

Scene.selectAllNodes (false);

Then, select only your root object(s) to collapse and call

MainWindow.getPaneMgr().findPane ('DzHierarchyPane').closeSelected();

 or, to collapse everything

MainWindow.getPaneMgr().findPane ('DzHierarchyPane').closeAll();

Oh yeh Omniflux!

MainWindow.getPaneMgr().findPane ('DzHierarchyPane').closeAll();

Thank you

Just bear in mind that these are not official, documented methods so they may be changed or removed without notice.
