Settings-selectors for edge-rendering

[Jodak]

Any ideas which selector i have to use to uncheck the last checkbox?

Hello @Jodak,

   This two line script will toggle the "Im Skizzenstil rendern" preference (Sketch hidden line results.) It will also BEEP when the preference is set (checkbox is selected.)

 

SetPref(47, not GetPref(47));
if GetPref(47) then Sysbeep;
 

To answer your question more directly, use:

SetPref(47, False);   { disable the "Im Skizzenstil rendern" preference }

Thank you, @MullinRJ!

 

But i want to uncheck the last checked box "Schnittkanten von Durchdringungen anzeigen" 🙂

I found all other boxes, but could not find a suiting translation for this one.

 

I like the beep-idea though!

Hi @Jodak,

   When you wrote "last checkbox" I took you literally. For what I would call the "first checkbox", as you so obviously depicted in the screenshot, use 144 instead. Hopefully, no harm, no foul.

 

   Yeah, the BEEP keeps me from having to open dialog boxes unnecessarily just to see where I am. And sometimes I don't even remember what dialog I have to open, so it saves lots of time over each year of use. Glad you like it.

 

HTH,

Raymond

The English version dialog box has the following titles for the checkboxes:

  

 

Google Translate doesn't come close – "Schnittkanten von Durchdringungen zeigen" =>  "Show cut edges of penetration"

If I run it the other way – "Generate intersecting lines" => "Erzeugen Sie sich überschneidende Linien"

 

Not sure if this helps, but I'm glad I don't have the job of doing a language translation.

Thats it! Thanks!

 

Where did you find the number? I can not find it in the appendix.

Hi @Jodak,

   That's probably because it's not in the Appendix, local or online. There is a file in the SDK that lists "most" of the VW Preference #'s (ProgramVariables.h) and another that lists the Object Variables (ObjectVariables.h). I say "most" because it sometimes takes a while for new preference #'s to be reflected in the SDK documentation. Even with these files handy, it is also sometimes difficult to match a dialog field's text with a preference #, especially, I imagine, going from German to English.

 

   I'm happy I could find it for you.

 

All the best,

Raymond

Thank you! I will have a look at the SDK!
