Locked Layer Question

Rhino
1

I’d like to know if objects on a locked layer can have a different color, similar to selecting an object and hitting the lock icon.

Hi, @Carl_Mesrobian. Yes… this already exists in Rhino 7 & 8.

In Options > View > Display Modes > [your display mode] > Objects > Locked Objects, set Locked object usage to Use specified lock color, pick your color, then check Apply these settings to layers. Objects on locked layers will now be shown in that color. Do this per display mode.
