Adding new objects to layouts

Rhino
1

Wondering if there is a way to add a new object to my model without it populating old details in Layouts.

sometimes I have 30-40 pages of Layouts (multiple details per page) and adding a new object to my model forces me to move back and turn the layer off in all those details.

Thanks

Hi @Alexander_R_Opferman,
It can happen, but there are few steps.
In Rhino 8, you will use layers.
You need to turn off the layer in all detail/all layouts. And then turn it off in the active detail, if you want it on there.

  1. Make layer(s) that the object will be create or assigned to. They will be visible in all your details on all your layouts.
  2. Activate a Detail on any layout.
  3. Right-click over the Detail On light blub for layer(s) with these objects.
  4. From the menu pick: Layer On in this Detail Only → All Layouts

  5. Then left click on the Detail On light blub again if you want it off in this details too.

Rhino WIP offers new options at the object level here. You can investigate the new commands:
IsolateToViewports
UnisolateFromViewports

Let us know if this works for you.
Sincerely,

It would be extremely helpful to have a command that sets all newly created layers to be off in all Details by default. Currently, it is a nightmare to manage and it limits the production flow. For example, something like NewLayerDetailsOff
