Can the "open editor" of tyflow be moved to the toolbar?

HI, Tyso!

Can the "open editor" of tyflow be moved to the toolbar? This will open the editor faster and more directly. 


       Thank you

Hey cgdvs,

You can open the editor of any tyFlow object using the MAXScript command:

Code:

$.editor_open()

Using that code, you can create a macroscript that allows you to open it from any button or menu item that you wish.

Thank you. It's really a good idea.
The only regret may need to select "tyflow" in the case.


If the tyflow object name in the scene is custom. In this case, "select $tyflow 001" is used. There will be a problem. No matter how the tyflow name changes, you can still select the tyflow object in the scene or open editing through code execution. Is this possible?

Well, the bigger issue is that if there are more than one tyFlow objects in the scene, how to decide which one to open? The user who implements a macroscript for this would need to decide on their own heuristic.

You can iterate through all tyFlows in the scene - regardless of name - by calling:

Code:

arr = getClassInstances tyFlow
for t in arr do
(
  --do something
)

--or

if (arr.count > 0) then arr[1].editor_open()

Wow, I may think this is the perfect solution!
I don't know how to describe my mood. In short, thank you very much.
