Hidding a Slice

[iari]

Hi!
I would like to hide a "Slice" object created after a "ExplodeCompound" command:

Code: Select all

# ...
Slice_group = CompoundTools.Explode.explodeCompound(f) # Creation of "Exploded Slice"

Now, if I do this operation manually, the python code is:

Code: Select all

Gui.ActiveDocument.getObject("Slice_child0").Visibility=False

But I want to do it in a function; thus I need to call the object without knowledge of the label. Unfortunately, the following attempt fails:

Code: Select all

Gui.ActiveDocument.getObject(Slice_group[1][0].Label).Visibility=False

as "Slice_group[1][0].Label" is of 'NoneType'.

Attached, my model tree.
How can I access the Visibility property of the Slices?

Thank you!

Code: Select all

Slice_group = CompoundTools.Explode.explodeCompound(f) # Creation of "Exploded Slice"

Here, Slice_group is a tuple : (group_object, list_slice_objects)

Be careful, group_object can be None, if there is only 1 slice part.
So you'd better use the slice objects from list_slice_objects.

These are App objects, but you want to use a Gui functionality.
So you need to use their ViewObject :

Code: Select all

Slice_group = CompoundTools.Explode.explodeCompound(f) # Creation of "Exploded Slice"
for slice in Slice_group[1]:
	slice.ViewObject.hide()

I want to hide the objects in the list_slice_objects, but Label didn't work. I found that with:

Code: Select all

Gui.ActiveDocument.getObject(Slice_group[1][0].Name).Visibility=False

it works!

Thanks
