Change Viewport Statistic

I was trying to get this to work in max 2020. I've had no luck so far. What happens is the Viewport Config dialog comes up but stays up.

it is a button, but it brings me only statistics settings when statistics already ON
I need just simple button to toggle "Show Statistic in the Active View" option

max2020

I am not sure if I understand you correctly but the there is a shotrcut to toggle the "Show Statistic in the Active View" - the key "7"(not in NumPad).

would it be possible to make this script as button on toolbar to toggle statistics on/off

thanks

This is the way I use it. :)
Download and install xxx_v2.mcr. Then you can create a toolbar button.

I've edited your great code to turn on all stats with "Total + Selection" radio button enabled.
This has no UI, just run to show all stats and 'Total + Selection'.

		dialogMonitorOPS.RegisterNotification miauuChangeStatisticsSettings id:#miauuChangeStatisticsSettingsID
		max vptconfig
		dialogMonitorOPS.UnRegisterNotification id:#miauuChangeStatisticsSettingsID
		dialogMonitorOps.enabled = false
	)
	ChangeStatistic()
)

This helped me greatly in getting the viewports configured the way I needed them on batch routine that I am running!

Thanks for sharing this. Easy to customize startup default preset for each user. Great.

Thank you. :)

In version 2.0 the support for 3dsMax 2017 is added.

Thanks for the script. In max 2016 seems that the "selection" buttton don't works, the others perfect.
thanks again.

Yes. For some reason only the TOTAL and TOTAL+SELECTION works correctly.

This is fantastic, works very well. Thanks miauu!

Glad to help. :)
