How to add an input slider to my new script and adding it to the toolbar?

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I am very new to scripting and took a while to make a basic perspective changing api for modeling space. I want to speed up the workflow by adding an input slider to adjust the number after

        camera.perspectiveAngle = 3.14/180 *

which is the number that changes the perspective angle (with an upper limit of 149). I also want to add a button on the tool bar to quickly launch the script. I have checked the documentation but failed due to my inexperience.

Thank you very much!

Here's the full script:

import adsk.core, adsk.fusion, traceback, math

def move_camera(app, view):
    try:
        camera = view.camera
        
        steps = 1
        camera.perspectiveAngle = 3.14/180 * 50
        ui = app.userInterface
        
    
        for i in range(0, steps):  
            camera.isSmoothTransition = False
            view.camera = camera
            adsk.doEvents()
            view.refresh()
    except:
        ui = app.userInterface
        if ui:
            ui.messageBox('Failed:\n{}'.format(traceback.format_exc()))

def main():
    ui = None
  
    try:
        print('hello, world')
        app = adsk.core.Application.get()
        move_camera(app, app.activeViewport)
    
    except:
        ui = app.userInterface
        if ui:
            ui.messageBox('Failed:\n{}'.format(traceback.format_exc()))

      
main()

Hi @Anonymous .

In the Japanese forum, there were several people who wanted to adjust the perspectiveAngle for rendering.
One of them created a script and published it.

https://github.com/skuramochi/Fusion360_SetCameraAoV 

Unfortunately, the slider is not used, and because it is a script, it cannot be registered in the Tools panel.

Instead, I created an add-in that uses the slider.
It only does the bare minimum, so please try to add any missing features.

Thank you so much! Works exactly as I imagined, couldn't be happier as I have thought about this since last year.
