Use script to toggle Per Pixel Shading, Show Aspect Frame, and Show Thirds Guide?

  I'm not sure where, if at all, per-pixel shading is to be found but the other two are available as boolean properties of Dz3DViewport -

  aspectOn
  thirdsGuideOn

  So

  var VPMgr = MainWindow.getViewportMgr();
  if ( VPMgr ) {
   var VP = VPMgr.getActiveViewport();
   if ( VP ) {
    var TDVP = VP.get3DViewport();
    if ( TDVP ) {
     TDVP.thirdsGuideOn = true;
    }
   }
  }

  will get the viewport manager from the global MainWindow, the current viewport from the manager, and the current 3D viewport from the viewport and will then turn the thirds guide on.

  Thanks Richard!! For anyone curious, here are two scripts that toggle each, respectively.

  Thirds:
  

  var  VPMgr                         =  MainWindow.getViewportMgr();
  if ( VPMgr ) {  var VP             = VPMgr.getActiveViewport();
  if ( VP    ) {  var TDVP           = VP.get3DViewport();
  if ( TDVP  ) {  TDVP.thirdsGuideOn = ! TDVP.thirdsGuideOn; }}}

  Aspect:
  

  var  VPMgr                    =  MainWindow.getViewportMgr();
  if ( VPMgr ) {  var VP        = VPMgr.getActiveViewport();
  if ( VP    ) {  var TDVP      = VP.get3DViewport();
  if ( TDVP  ) {  TDVP.aspectOn = ! TDVP.aspectOn; }}}

  More improvements. Now the script that toggles the thirds guide also turns the aspect frame on and the aspect frame script turns the thirds guide off if the aspect frame is toggled off. For anyone reading this a few years from now, these work with DAZ Studio 4.7.0.12.

  Thirds Guide:
  

  // Toggles the Thirds guide and turns the aspect frame on if the thirds guide is toggled on. 
  // Uncomment the 'TDVP.aspectOn=false' if you want to toggle the thirds guide and the aspect frame.
  var  VPMgr =  MainWindow.getViewportMgr();
  if ( VPMgr ) {  
   var VP = VPMgr.getActiveViewport();
   if ( VP ) {  
    var TDVP      = VP.get3DViewport();
    if ( TDVP ) { 
     if( TDVP.thirdsGuideOn ){ TDVP.thirdsGuideOn = false; /* TDVP.aspectOn      = false; */ }
     else                    { TDVP.aspectOn      = true;  TDVP.thirdsGuideOn = true;  }
     }
    }
   }

  Aspect Frame:
  

  // DAZ Studio version 4.7.0.12 filetype DAZ Script
  //Toggles the Aspect Frame and turns the thirds guide off if the aspect frame is toggled off
  var  VPMgr =  MainWindow.getViewportMgr();
  if ( VPMgr ) { 
   var VP = VPMgr.getActiveViewport();
   if ( VP ) {  
    var TDVP = VP.get3DViewport();
    if ( TDVP ) { 
     if( TDVP.aspectOn ) { TDVP.thirdsGuideOn = false; TDVP.aspectOn = false } 
     else                { TDVP.aspectOn      = true;                        }
     }
    }
   }

  And for anyone reading this past 2021, they still work in Daz 4.15.0.2.

  Thank you very much!  I use the thirds guide quite a bit and was frustrated trying to find a way to keybind it.

  Glad you find them useful! I can't imagine going back to not having them!!
