Automated Layouts, Additionals

[mlohse]

Hello Hivemind, 

i`ve experimented some time with the automated layout Marionette from DomC. 

Now I try to achieve two things:

-using the Layer Color in Viewport function (deutsch: "Ebenenfarbe im Ansichtsbereich anwenden") I want to toggle the function for the layers in the viewport and set Fill and Pencolor. 

-I would like to toggle the Viewport Crop visible/invisible (deutsch: "Begrenzungen anzeigen") 

 

I think both functions are OIP Controls in the Viewport menu, but I don't know how to get that work in a Marionette Node. maybe some of you can help here?

many thanks for inputs.

There are Vectorscript/Python functions for setting for setting the Pen Fore/Back, Fill Fore/Back, and Opacity of the layer overrides and a way to make and remove overrides. But I don't see a way to keep the settings and just toggle the Use Overrides button.

 

In any case it would require a custom Marionette node(s) to be written and I do not see any way to access this in the standard nodes.

 

Hopefully someone else will point out that I am missing something and it is actually easy to do in Marionette.

Hey Pat,

thank you for reply.

understand that so far, do you have an idea where I can find the names of the attributes, wich I have to use for that scenario? I`ve tried the "standard" pen/fill nodes, but that doesn't work in the viewport.
