Object Visibility Control

[jsormaz]

Is there a way to control the following through the API?

Hello,

unfortunately, there is no direct object in the API that you could use to edit these settings. However you can simulate navigating through the user interface and set the checkboxes to your liking. I used this workaround technique for effects of the camera. 

This is a sample script that turns off sketches (unchecks the checkbox):

import adsk.core, adsk.fusion, adsk.cam, traceback

def run(context):
    ui = None
    try:
        app = adsk.core.Application.get()
        ui  = app.userInterface
        
        command_definitions = ui.commandDefinitions
        objectVisibilityCmdDef = command_definitions.itemById("VisibilityOverrideCommand")

        objectVisibilityControl = objectVisibilityCmdDef.controlDefinition
        objectVisibilityList = adsk.core.ListControlDefinition.cast(objectVisibilityControl)

        sketchesCheckBox = objectVisibilityList.listItems.item(8)  # turn off sketches

        if sketchesCheckBox.isSelected:
            was_turned_off = sketchesCheckBox.isSelected = False

    except:
        if ui:
            ui.messageBox('Failed:\n{}'.format(traceback.format_exc()))

good enough for me, thanks!
