Hide Grid?

[tonare]

There is a plug-in that comes with one of the 3dattack magz, thats called "Toggle Grid" or something.

I forget which one it is, but its not to old.

Jeeze that was fast:)

Thanx tonare!

[LucentDreams]

Yup works great:D. The things you can find when you know the word eek
Thanx Lucent.

For those who want a toggle, tonare's advice:

http://www.3dattack.net/forum/showthread.php?t=5110

So, a question was posted on another forum about how one can assign a shortcut key to turn off the Grid in the viewport. We discovered that it cannot be done from the command list, as the toggle grid on/off command listed there relates to the F-Curve Manager, and not to the viewport.

Anyway, a member over there (JDP) made a little script that does the trick, and I wanted to share it here, as it is pretty darn handy.

Simply open up your Script Manager, click New, and name it something descriptive that you will understand, like Toggle Grid. Then, copy and paste the following into the script field:

var doc = GetActiveDocument();
doc->GetActiveBaseDraw()#BASEDRAW_DISPLAYFILTER_GRID =
!doc->GetActiveBaseDraw()#BASEDRAW_DISPLAYFILTER_GRID;

Save it, and you're all set. You will find the command in the Command Manager, and will be able to assign whatever shortcut key you like.

Cheers!

to explain further, you can turn the grid on/off in a couple of places in c4d, in the filter menu for the viewport and in the viewport settings : Edit->Configure for any viewport (again under filter)

Thanx Per

On a side note toggle worked in the script manager execute button but 'G' assigned to it in the command manager didn't work. '/' did,... strange.

[Per-Anders]

did you check to see if g was already assigned to somethign else? when you assign a shortcut to something it will tell you what else that shortcut is assigned to in the command maanger. you can then unassign it if you want.

Yeah you can see if the cut is already assigned and delete it. It wasnt assigned but I had just deleted it from toggling the f curve grid (whatever that is :) ).

I am noticing some really nice features in c4d which I missed in other apps. Some stuff you also find in Modo,... hmmm nice software this.

Hey Welcome Kanga

I've seen you around the other forums (general mainly).
Good luck in your c4d explorations.

Well you know, Chris, nice to see this process unfold before my eyes - the initial phase of assimilation... Any resistance is, of course, futile

@JoelD
Howdy, and thanx for the welcome. Having to switch over to c4d for my work and although it felt wierd in the beginning it's getting pretty nice fast! Like other forums here this one has a low response time,.... which is a relief :).

@JamesMK
Ha ha James!
Live long and multiply,....
Seems needless advice for a rabbit! :thumbsup:.
