Agreed - I have used this also, but steps, steps, steps when visual
would be nice and fast.
There are times - in my files - that I have a lot of info in layers,
some I need to rename or reorganize to a new master layer - then rebuild
the layers under it by either moving or creating new ones and moving
objects to fit the scheme. In those cases, simply after reassigning
objects to the new schema, along with some layer moves and renames - it
would be nice to see the empties so I no longer need to check them for
objects to move because I see they are empty without having to filter or
purge. Because once I do either one of those, I need to do it thirty
more times as and after objects are reassigned or moved. That is what I
was getting at. Knowing - visually - would be a great benefit and a lot
less steps for /me/ but perhaps not others if I am the sole one doing
this [may be me - poor CAD method?].
FYI - I just noticed my email may be misinterpreted. I created it as a
shortcut for “forumrhino@” and not some other “frhino@” and I will be
changing that as soon as I finish this current project. I never noticed
until the two of you sent me personal mail. As stated - NOT my intent at
all and I was a little taken back when I received mail at it and
realized what it could be seen to be 
Again, I yield. I am attempting to also learn Grasshopper too. I can
state Rhino exceeds my expectations, there is always and should always
be ways to improve Rhino, but I am a very happy camper as is - even if
I have to trudge through my method.
As I wrote to Pascal - you are another great contributor and I
appreciate your activity in the forum. I learn a lot from both of you
[and a few others] but you two are top of the list. Espe3cially like all
the little down and dirty scripts. I sure wish those were incorporated
directly into Rhino and would have to ask why not - but ok, some day.
Thanks again
