I once saw in a tutorial video (and I hope it was a Rhino tutorial but cannot remember 100%) that the instructor could with one click + pressing a key (?) invert the visibility of his layers.
What I mean by inverting layer visibility:
Imagine you have several layers on/visible and you want to click on one layer, so this one stays visible while all others become hidden. So, it is like the Isolate command but for layers.
Is there such key combination or did the instructor used a custom command?
You can create a macro and assign it to an alias or a keyboard shortcut
Turn all layers on: ! -Layer _On * Enter
Isolate the current layer: !_-OneLayerOn Enter
Select an object to isolate the layer !_-OneLayerOn _Select
the same with -OneLayerOff just remember to keep the hyphen to avoid the pop-up window
Hello - use -OneLayerOn SelectObject' if you want to pick an object on the layer to leave on, and OneLayerOn` to select a layer from the list. Note you can also select a layer in the layer panel and right click and choose ‘One layer on’ which seems to me to be the handiest way if you know the layer.
@phos4 - try the updated one above - if one or more layers are highlighted, they will be shown in addition to the current layer… all else, off. Could be kind of handy, actually.
