To show body views for custom objects or loads, you define the callback onDrawBodyViews. This callback allows entities to show body views in the same fashion as for native connection objects such as joints, contact region, and so on. With this callback, you can set the properties of a single-body view or a two-body view. Properties include the pane name, scoping, and whether to show the body view.

The return value from this callback determines whether to show body views. The callback gets passed in three arguments: a user load, view one, and view two, respectively.

A view has two properties that can be set on it:

An example follows of the IronPython code:

def OnDrawBodyViews(load, view1, view2):
    view1.Name = "View 1"
    view2.Name = "View 2"

    view1.Selection = load.Properties["Scoping1"].Value
    view2.Selection = load.Properties["Scoping2"].Value

    return True

To show a single body view, you do not set a pane name value for view two:

def OnDrawBodyViewsBodyToGround(load, view1, view2):
    view1.Name = "Body 1"
    view1.Selection = load.Properties["Scoping1"].Value
    return True
