C4D Change Display Colour / Rhino IO V2

[acidnoid]

Hi,

is it possible to change the Display Colour for all Objects in the Scene from Layer to Automatic?

The problem is, that Rhino IO imports the file in a way, that this is set to Layer, but I am not always working in Layers and to preview my materials, I need to change it in VRay 5 to Automatic?

Well, probably not a VRay 5 question - but maybe someone can help me anyways, thank you in advance.

Hello,

You can use a simple python script to do that.

import c4d

def main():
    # Get the currently selected objects, including their child objects
    selectedObjects = doc.GetActiveObjects(c4d.GETACTIVEOBJECTFLAGS_CHILDREN)
    for object in selectedObjects:
        # For each of these objects, set the USECOLOR option to AUTOMATIC
        object[c4d.ID_BASEOBJECT_USECOLOR]=c4d.ID_BASEOBJECT_USECOLOR_AUTOMATIC

    # Tell Cinema4D to update the UI
    c4d.EventAdd()

# Execute main()
if __name__=='__main__':
    main()

You can paste this in a new file in the Cinema4D Script Manager. When you Execute it, it will change the Display Color option for all selected objects to Automatic.

I hope this helps.
