Layer Visibility doesn't work in Make 2D in linked blocks

[Daniel_Krajnik]

Hiding Layers inside linked blocks doesn’t work when running Make2D:

to reproduce:

1. create a 3dm file with two objects
2. put object in front on a different layer
3. link that file into a new rhino doc with layers as reference
4. hide layer in the linked block with the object in front
5. position the camera so that the hidden object is in front
6. run make2d

in result the object will still occlude objects behind even though it was hidden

it’s can cause a lot of problems in the workflow, so any advice will be greatly appreciated

hi @Daniel_Krajnik I cannot reproduce it here, maybe I am doing things differently or your objects are different? This is what I did:

I made a file with two objects, red in front:

Inserted this as linked block, with reference layer style, then hide the red layer:

Next I run Make2d with these settings:

and I get this:

Thanks, you’re right, Make2D is working correctly now here as well. I don’t have the same setup as shown on the first image, but if it ever comes up again I’ll send an update.
