Set Display Options in Python

[gemini]

Can easily be changed the actual scene view / Display Options / Effect / Material / Set Geo Color in python ?

And how ?

I use this one to toggle Display of points on/off:

    pane = hou.ui.curDesktop().paneTabOfType(hou.paneTabType.SceneViewer)
    settings = pane.curViewport().settings()
    markersDisplayModel = settings.displaySet(hou.displaySetType.DisplayModel)
    markersSceneObject = settings.displaySet(hou.displaySetType.SceneObject)
    # Toggle the markers (visible when inside /obj/...)
    markersDisplayModel.showPointMarkers(not markersDisplayModel.isShowingPointMarkers())
    # Unify with the scene (visible when in top level "/obj")
    markersSceneObject.showPointMarkers(markersDisplayModel.isShowingPointMarkers())

More to read is here in docs:
http://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/hom/hou/GeometryViewportDisplaySet
 

For example:
setShadedMode(shaded_mode) #wireframe, hidden lines, shaded with primitive face normals, outlined polygons...

import hou

settings = hou.ui.curDesktop() \
                 .paneTabOfType(hou.paneTabType.SceneViewer) \
                 .curViewport() \
                 .settings()

dispset = settings.displaySet(hou.displaySetType.DisplayModel)
dispset.useFadedLook(not dispset.isUsingFadedLook())

In theory it should work, but not for me on 16.0.705.

THX for all! I am checking them now...

Somehow the useFadedLook toggles the flag but not shown at the view.. 

Any idea?

"Faded" may not exactly what you think it is. It just suppresses geometry color on the model. "DisplayModel" also only affects the geometry of displayed SOP when inside a SOP network. Are you looking for the ghosted look instead?

[gemini]

This Geometry Color propery is signed as a Material Property ( RMB on the right side of the Scene View ).  Maybe helps..  Sorry i have not so much practise in this..
