Tested and working very well! A minor suggestion for the next release, @tlorantfy, maybe you could set the necessary toggles and colour swatches by default like you did with the value list in the "select by type" node? This will make a lot faster the workflow avoiding the user to add the necessary inputs.

All set up false by default

Transparency is not a boolean, but a number between 0.0 and 1.0.

@JBENEITEZ i think setting up default values is a better way than placing a lot of additional nodes. I think the script can easily become bloated by nodes when a default value would work perfectly fine.

[JBENEITEZ]

@kovacsv is fair enough, but the default behaviour from the user will be to go and find the toggles and swatches in order to activate it and make it work. My proposal is merely to add the inputs that are necessary to make it work, perhaps as you say, with some default values you can save a few extra nodes here and there.

[kovacsv]

@JBENEITEZ i agree, but if the default is good enough for temporary highlight then users won't need to add anything, only the element id input. For more complex worklows a swatch won't be enough.

Let's say this is a default:

• color: blue
• non hl color: white
• non hl wireframe: true
• transparency: 0.5

I think this would cover the workflow when you just want to see what is selected. If you want to customize it you should create nodes only for the things you want to change.

I am convinced! That seems very reasonable
