hello folks!
Id like to make my self a hotkey for turning on and off the character visibility in the view scene for houdini 20.5.410, but i'm not a script person at all and i am very new to houdini. Anyone else know how i might accomplish this? I like to speed up my workflow using hotkeys rather than constant menu clicking.
thanks in advance
Patricia.

Sorry for the late reply here. The scripting API is still very much in flux but if you create a shelf tool, then you can assign a hotkey to it for this code:
The main problem will be finding a hotkey that works. On a quick try, Ctrl+F2 assigned at the global scope was the first thing that worked for me.
from apex.ui import statecommandutils as scu from apex.ui.selectionmanager import utils as ssu model = ssu.retrieveModel() chars = {} for p in scu.findSceneDataPaths('*.char'): c = scu.getSceneData(p) if not c.isVisible(): chars[p.split('/')[-1]] = {} ssu.sendCharacterVisibility(chars, model)
