Custom Tool Sub Menu in VR Menu

[fbruchD4CS2]

Hi there! 

I am currently working on a custom immersive tools menu for VR and I would like to add a submenu for a custom tool I created. I added the custom tool with vrImmersiveUiService.createTool(), but the returned vrdImmersiveTool class doesn't seem to have a "createSubMenu()" function or something similar. I would like to build something similar to the Viewpoints or Variant Sets tool, where clicking on the button in VR opens a sub menu with further functionality. 

I also tried vrImmersiveUiService.openToolsSubMenu(tool) with my custom tool as tool parameter, but nothing happens. 

Can someone tell me if what I am trying to achieve is possible and if so how it can be done? 

Thank you very much in advance!

Hi Florian,

I'm glad to hear you are customizing VRED.

There is a short script in the ~examples/vr folder called customMenuButton.py that shows how to connect submenus.

Hi Dan, 

I thought you were enjoying your retirement by now 🙂 

Thank you for the tip, I will try this in the office tomorrow and "accept the solution" if it works!
