keyboard toggle for styles menus

Postby David_H » Mon Apr 21, 2008 8:58 pm

can someone help me with a keyboard shortcut that would toggle between line styles "all the Same" and "Color by Axis". I am not sure where that is found in the command menu to define a SC to it.
Thx in advance.

David

Hi Dave,


If you want, I will write up a script that will toggle between the options. Then you can assign a shortcut to it.

No need for a script -- look at your shortcuts menu under "view/rendering/edge/all the same"
and "view/rendering/edge/by axis" then set up your shortcut key.

You are correct. I was thinking he wanted to toggle between Color By Axis and Color by Material.

Hi, I can see these items in Shortcuts but I can't see "Rendering" options under "View" in SketchUp. Missing something? Thank you

In Version 6 the edge styles you're looking for are under Window>Styles>Edit although the shortcuts are still assigned as if these things are under the View Menu.
Inspecting mirrors is a job I could easily see myself doing.
