Description

This is an update to ViewPort Controls Mini and renamed to VPL 2.0 I found with the introduction of the view cube. The other feathures of "ViewPort Controls Mini" were redundant. So I striped it down to just the viewport layout selections in a dock-able buttons bar.

VPL Use: Only use VPL from the 4 viewport state. Not the (alt+W) maximized viewport state.

INSTALL:
VPL_2.0_RUN.ms - Put in your (max/scripts/startup)folder This will start VPL at launch of max.
VPL_2.0.ms - Put in your (max/scripts/) folder - the script.
VPL_i16a.bmp - Put in your (max/ui/icons) folder - button graphics.

I like this in maxscript startup folder:
(
viewport.setLayout (#layout_4vl)
for v=1 to 4 do
(
viewport.activeViewPort = v
actionMan.executeAction 0 "40077" -- Views: Hide Grids Toggle (G) or: max grid toggle
)
actionMan.executeAction 0 "370" -- Tools: Show Selection Bracket Toggle (J)
actionMan.executeAction 0 "369" -- Views: View Edged Faces Toggle (F4)
)

titane357,

Sure just take the VPL_i16a.bmp file and use anyway you like. Email me if you need any icons.

sorry, but I don't know how to make a pop up menu... :-(

In fact I meant that it would be great to have not a toolbar but a dropdown list, so it would be more compact. :-)
