Here’s some updates to the wire frame color script I posted last week. See that post for info on how to add a button to the color palette.

First, I wanted to be able to pick multiple objects, one after the other. So I simplified the script by replacing most of the code with a single call to ColorizeObject, which does let you pick a sequence of objects.

CreateColorizeTool();
function CreateColorizeTool()
{
		var color_tool = XSIFactory.CreateObject( "CustomProperty" )
        if (color_tool)
        {
			var r = color_tool.AddParameter( "R", siDouble );
			var g = color_tool.AddParameter( "G", siDouble );
			var b = color_tool.AddParameter( "B", siDouble );
			var a = color_tool.AddParameter( "A", siDouble );
			
			var layout = color_tool.PPGLayout ;

			layout.AddGroup( "Color" );
			item = layout.AddColor( "R", "",true );
			item.SetAttribute( "NoLabel", true );
			layout.EndGroup();

			layout.AddRow();
			layout.AddButton( "ColorizeObject", "Colorize object" );
			layout.EndRow();

			layout.Language = "JScript" ;
			layout.Logic = ColorizeTool_ColorizeObject_OnClicked.toString();

			layout.SetAttribute( "LogicPrefix", "ColorizeTool_" ) ;
        }
        InspectObj( color_tool, "Colorize Tool", "", siLock ); 
}
function ColorizeTool_ColorizeObject_OnClicked()
{
		LogMessage( "v0.5" );
		ColorizeObject( PSet.R.Value,PSet.G.Value,PSet.B.Value );
}			

But this code doesn’t let you change the color in-between picks. So I modified the original example script and put a while loop around the call to PickObject (line 62), and I changed the script to get the colors directly from the color widget (line 78). That way, you can set the wire color, pick an object to apply the wire color, set another wire color, pick another object, and so on…

CreateColorizeTool();
function CreateColorizeTool()
{
	var color_tool = XSIFactory.CreateObject( "CustomProperty" )
    if (color_tool)
    {
		var color_tool = ActiveSceneRoot.AddCustomProperty( "ColorizeTool" );
		var wirecolor = color_tool.AddParameter( "wirecolor", siInt4 );
		wirecolor.ReadOnly = true;
		var r = color_tool.AddParameter( "R", siDouble );
		var g = color_tool.AddParameter( "G", siDouble );
		var b = color_tool.AddParameter( "B", siDouble );
		var a = color_tool.AddParameter( "A", siDouble );
		var layout = color_tool.PPGLayout ;
		layout.AddRow();
		var item = layout.AddItem( "wirecolor", "wirecolor" );
		item.SetAttribute( "NoSlider", true );
		layout.AddButton( "ColorizeObject", "Colorize object" );
		layout.EndRow();
		layout.AddGroup( "Color" );
		item = layout.AddColor( "R", "",true );
		item.SetAttribute( "NoLabel", true );
		layout.EndGroup();
		layout.Language = "JScript" ;
		layout.Logic = 
				ColorizeTool_R_OnChanged.toString() + 
				ColorizeTool_G_OnChanged.toString() + 
				ColorizeTool_B_OnChanged.toString() + 
				RGBToWireframeColor.toString() + 
				ColorizeTool_ColorizeObject_OnClicked.toString();
		layout.SetAttribute( "LogicPrefix", "ColorizeTool_" ) ;
	}
	InspectObj( color_tool, "Colorize Tool", "", siLock ); 
}

        var color = PSet.wirecolor.Value;
        var o = null;
        var siRMB = 0;
        var button = -1, modifier;
        while (button != siRMB )
        {
				LogMessage( button != siRMB );
                Application.StatusBar ="Pick object to colorize";
                var rtn = PickObject( "Select object", "");
