Hi guys,

In Solaris viewport I am using payloads masks a lot and there is not possible to bind that to a shortcut so I was wondering that maybe, I could write a simple script that does that.

I am talking about this toggle:




However, I am struggling a lot to make it work. It's not documented much but I believe it is this class that should do it. But how to use that? Does anyone know, please?

I've tried to do this but it gives me nothing. Not even an error.

Also, I’ve tried to do this


which gives me information about the scene but it’s not true. It stays the same no matter what I change in the scene graph tree (primitives visibility).


Am I missing something here? Maybe a connection to the lop stage? Looks like the script returns just some default values.

You also need to apply the changes to the current viewport.

You also need to apply the changes to the current viewport.

network = hou.ui.paneTabOfType(hou.paneTabType.NetworkEditor).pwd()
load_masks = network.viewportLoadMasks()
load_masks.setPopulateAll(False)
network.setViewportLoadMasks(load_masks)

Interesting, awesome! That works great. Thanks a lot, alexwheezy, for your help!
