Hide first instance of object while moving

Rhino

Is there any way to hide the first instance of an object while moving, only show where it is getting moved to and not where it was.

It make it very difficult when trying to align point clouds because the original location hides the point cloud you’re trying to align to.

Hi Ian - not in plain Rhino.Here is a script that may help -

MoveAsHidden.py (1.7 KB)

To use the Python script use RunPythonScript, or a macro:

_-RunPythonScript "Full path to py file inside double-quotes"

-Pascal

This is great, thank you!

Do you also have one for rotate?

Hi Ian - I do not… it would be a bit more fiddly to type, but probably doable, I’ll have a look.

@Ian_DeFazio - this is not quite as clean as I’d like yet but may get the job done for now.
