Wireframe on Shaded

[dnorth]

Does anyone know how to create a hotkey to toggle "Wireframe on Shaded" on and off? I guess basically my questionis , is there a MEL command to do that? Can't seem to find one anywhere. Thanks.

I use these two lines as a shelf button for WoS toggle.

string $activePanel = getPanel -wf;
modelEditor -e -wos (!modelEditor -q -wos $activePanel) $activePanel;

The trick to finding the proper MEL commands is to open up the script editor and turn on Script->Echo All Commands

This has also been discussed numerous times. try the search forum feature.

Hope this helps.

right.. one time and one time only...

string $currPanel = getPanel -withFocus;
if ("" != $currPanel && ("modelPanel" == getPanel -to $currPanel))
{
int $wosonoff = modelEditor -q -wos $currPanel;
switch ($wosonoff)
{
case 0: modelEditor -e -wos true $currPanel;
break;
case 1: modelEditor -e -wos false $currPanel;
break;
default: break;
}
$wosonoff = modelEditor -q -wos $currPanel;
print("ShadingonWire: "+$wosonoff+"n");
} else {
error "No modeling panel selected or invalid.";
}

Then copy this into the hotkey editor under User hotkeys..

job done

this was my first MEL and I was helped by several people on highend..
They told me, and I'll tell you; its worth learning MEL for sure..
Im no coder but I have grasped the basics.. only the syntax stumps me sometimes now.
Its very useful and I have carved myself a niche as the "MEL guy" with my fellow artists
