I trying to see if this is possible. I want to have the ability to choose which frames to re-render with checkboxes.

First issue I am having is that the checkboxes active and de-active together. I build the checkboxes with a for statement. How to create unique checkboxes?

lastly, is it possible to obtain a list of active checkboxes? I want to use this to render specific frames.

The Print Operator is to test the Checkbox list before I attempt to the render Operator

import bpy
import os 
from bpy.props import (StringProperty, BoolProperty, IntProperty, FloatProperty, FloatVectorProperty, EnumProperty, PointerProperty,)
from bpy.types import (Panel, Menu, Operator, PropertyGroup,)

###########     Scene Properties         ###########
class BoolProperties(PropertyGroup):


frame_bool: BoolProperty(
    name= "checkbox name",
    description="A bool property",
    default = True,

    )




###########     Test Operator - Print    ###########
class PRINT_OT_Check(bpy.types.Operator):
    bl_idname = "print.checkboxes"
    bl_label = "Print Checkboxes"
    bl_description = "Print Active Checkboxes"


def execute(self, context):

    return {'FINISHED'}




###########     Test Operator - Render   ###########
class PRINT_OT_Check(bpy.types.Operator):
    bl_idname = "render.checkboxes"
    bl_label = "Render Checkboxes"
    bl_description = "Render Active Checkboxes"


def execute(self, context):

    return {'FINISHED'}




###########     Panel in Active Tool     ###########
class FANCY_PT_Panel(Panel):
    bl_label = "Checkbox Panel"
    bl_space_type = 'VIEW_3D'
    bl_region_type = 'UI'
    bl_category = 'Tool'


@classmethod
def poll(self,context):
    return context.object is not None

def draw(self, context):
    layout = self.layout
    col = layout.column(align=True)

    colortool = bpy.context.scene.color_tool

    fstart = bpy.context.scene.frame_start
    fend = bpy.context.scene.frame_end + 1
    if fend > 21:
        fend = 21
    collection = list(range(fstart, fend))

    layout.label(text="Colorway Render Selection:")
    row = layout.row()
    row.operator('render.checkboxes', text="Render Active Checkboxes")
    row = layout.row()
    row.operator('print.checkboxes', text="Print Active Checkboxes")
    row = layout.row()



###Checkbox generator###
        for y in range(len(collection)):
            checkname = str(y + 1)
            row.prop(colortool, "frame_bool", text = checkname, icon = 'MATCLOTH')


###########     Registration             ###########
def register():
    bpy.utils.register_class(BoolProperties)
    bpy.utils.register_class(PRINT_OT_Check)
    bpy.utils.register_class(FANCY_PT_Panel)


bpy.types.Scene.color_tool = PointerProperty(type=BoolProperties)




def unregister():
    bpy.utils.unregister_class(BoolProperties)
    bpy.utils.unregister_class(PRINT_OT_Check)
    bpy.utils.unregister_class(FANCY_PT_Panel)


if name == "main":
    register()
```

  • Short answer, yes it is possible, before going down that route Consider how a print dialog does this via a string property, eg 1, 2, 3, 8-14, 17 ie print pages 1. 2. 3. 8 to 14 and 17. – batFINGER Jul 30 '20 at 13:43
  • You realize your print and render classes have the same name? You only have one stored boolean for all the checkboxes. See https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/6975/is-it-possible-to-use-bpy-props-pointerproperty-to-store-a-pointer-to-an-object Finally, I agree with @batFINGER, there are too many checkboxes in a row on that panel – Ron Jensen Jul 30 '20 at 15:23
