, [alternateContext=boolean], [boxDollyType=string], [centerOfInterestDolly=boolean], [dollyTowardsCenter=boolean], [exists=boolean], [history=boolean], [image1=string], [image2=string], [image3=string], [localDolly=boolean], [name=string], [orthoZoom=boolean], [scale=float], [toolName=string])
Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.
dollyCtx is undoable, queryable, and editable.
This command can be used to create, edit, or query a dolly
context.
| string | The name of the context |
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Properties |
|
alternateContext(ac)
|
boolean
|
 
|
|
Set the ALT+MMB and ALT+SHIFT+MMB to refer to this context.
|
|
boxDollyType(bdt)
|
string
|
|
|
Set the behavior of where the camera's center of interest is
set to after the box dolly. In surface mode, the center
of interest will be snapped to the surface point at the center
of the marquee. In bbox mode, the closest bounding box
to the camera will be used. Bounding box mode will use the
selection mask to determine which objects to include into the
calculation.
|
|
centerOfInterestDolly(cd)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Set the translate the camera's center of interest. Left and
right drag movements with the mouse will translate the center
of interest towards or away respectively from the camera. The
center of interest can be snapped to objects by using the left
mouse button for selection. The default select mask will be
used.
|
|
dollyTowardsCenter(dtc)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Dolly towards center (if true), else dolly towards point where
user clicks in the view.
|
|
exists(ex)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Returns true or false depending upon whether the
specified object exists. Other flags are ignored.
|
|
history(ch)
|
boolean
|
|
|
If this is a tool command, turn the construction history on
for the tool in question.
|
|
image1(i1)
|
string
|
|
|
First of three possible icons representing the tool
associated with the context.
|
|
image2(i2)
|
string
|
|
|
Second of three possible icons representing the tool
associated with the context.
|
|
image3(i3)
|
string
|
|
|
Third of three possible icons representing the tool
associated with the context.
|
|
localDolly(ld)
|
boolean
|
|
|

camera will not pass through the center of interest. Local
dolly only applies to perspective cameras.
|
|
name(n)

string
|
|
|
If this is a tool command, name the tool appropriately.
|
|
orthoZoom(oz)
|
