I want to hide the DIMS layer in perspective viewport, but have it show in top and right viewports.
Is this possible to do??
Thanks!
Found it! I selected Perspective viewport-> [EDIT] Display->unchecked annotation

I couldn’t find this. Could you please show a screenshot where this option is located?
Thank you. I wish each view port could control layer visibility like paper layout as well.
I realized that I did not hide the layer, but rather hid the annotations.
Reading the above posts, I assume there is no way currently to Off/On some layers only for one of the view-ports…?
For example: Lets say 2 viewports are opened. [A common way of working on rings in jewellery design]
In one [top view] all the layers of flat [control/parents] objects, are on. and in the other VP [perspective] only the layers of the _FlowAlongSrf object on.
Would love to bump this to the Devs attention. Maybe to consider developing for the WIP.
thanks a lot
Hi Akash -
That is somewhat correct.
Under the hood, model space viewports are aware of the on/off state of the layers. During the first few service releases of Rhino 7 for Mac, it was actually possible for users to set that state through the UI. This was both not intended and caused quite a bit of support issues and that “bug” was thus fixed.
It’s still possible to use code to set the state per viewport. At some point this was broken in Rhino 8 but was fixed in 8.8.
From RH-81265 SDK RhinoCommon: Layer.SetPerViewportVisible not working model views:
Note, we’ve never exposed this in the UI, as we thought it would confuse the user. But some developers have taken advantage of this ability.
You can use this script to text the fix.

I’ve put it on the list, but this is not something that will be considered for Rhino 9.
