is it possible to run a command every couple of seconds automatically? a toggle button, auto run and stop.
when doing retopology, I always accidentally select backfaces on the other side of the mesh, and using infront display, the backfaces on the back is quite distracting. so there is the free addon, backface hidng. kinda of solve the problem, but I need to press a button every now and then.
I wonder if PME can do some sort of auto run:
every couple of seconds, if not in the middle of an operation and auto run toggle true, run “hide backface” command.
or here is better option as ChameleonScales suggested,
while toggled true, at the end of viewport orbit or pan, run the operator.
not sure if those conditions is doable in pme.
