Greetings,<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
I am trying to “check the box” for a number of parts in the structure tree. Using the recording feature of the API, I get the ViewHelper.SetObjectVisibility class\/method. Trying to apply this to my existing selection yields nothing though – code below. How can I toggle the parts based on my existing selection?<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
select_bodies = []<\/div>\n
for i_body in GetRootPart()GetComponents():<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
    if i_body.GetName().Equals(“<name>”):<\/div>\n
        select_bodies.append(i_body)<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
# Change Object Visibility<\/div>\n
selection = Selection.Create(select_bodies)<\/div>\n
visibility = VisibilityType.Show<\/div>\n
inSelectedView = False<\/div>\n
faceLevel = False<\/div>\n
ViewHelper.SetObjectVisibility(selection, visibility, inSelectedView, faceLevel)<\/div>\n
# EndBlock<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
# Change Object Visibility<\/div>\n
selection = Selection.Create(select_bodies)<\/div>\n
ViewHelper.HideOthers(selection)<\/div>\n
# EndBlock<\/div>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-291094","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-ansys-spaceclaim","topic-tag-api","topic-tag-python"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
