How to select recently unhidden objects?

Rhino Rhino for Windows
1

Have a model with zillions of layers and 2 years of possibly important stuff in hidden layers.

I’d like to know if there’s a way to select items I’ve just unhidden so I can move them into a separate file.

Showing all layers and then unhide is pretty easy but I don’t know how to select all that stuff.

Are they on all on 1 layer? in a group? or block?

To select last objects you can try SelLast or SelPrev. but dont think that will get you there. These 2 commands select your last selected / edited objects.

Slight misinformation in initial post. The objects I want to select and remove are hidden in lots of various (visible) layers.

Type Show and then SelLast. Think that should work. Not behind a pc with rhino.

Nah it says last selection set is empty

SelAll, Show, Invert?

Hi Ryan- here’s a quick script: (but use Chuck’s macro, way better)

Option Explicit

Sub ShowAndSelect()
	Dim ahidden: aHidden = Rhino.HiddenObjects()
	If Not isArray(aHidden) Then Exit Sub
	
	Rhino.Command "_Show"
	
	Rhino.SelectObjects(aHidden)
	
End Sub

I’ll attach it as a ‘drag and drop’ script that will add ShowAndSelect as an alias.
