Script Window

Select View > Script to open the Script Window.

Scripts are small programs used to do things in Shade3D. Scripts can be used to combine several commands into one, saving you time and work. They can also be used to customize Shade3D, such as adding functionality.

The Script Window is used to write and record scripts.

Scripts

Record Checkbox

When selected, subsequent operations are recorded in the script. Even if you are not very familiar with programming languages, you may be able to create a very useful script simply by recording a sequence of Shade3D operations. By modifying a recorded script, even more complex scripts are possible.
