Model disappears in some views

[wim (Wim Dekeyser)]

Hi Georges -

@gdelajoux

I checked on the file and found the layer on, are you referring to something else…?

Yes, I’m referring to something else.
The setting that you are looking for no longer exists.
It used to be possible, on the Mac, to turn off a layer in a model space viewport. This is no longer the case. When this was fixed, the fix also meant that you can’t “repair” a viewport that is in that state.

@gdelajoux

Either way, I’m not sure I know how to turn off a viewport for a layer on the modelling window.

You can’t - not anymore.

@gdelajoux

Finally, I seem to remember I once managed to get the Layout and layer detail information panel showing up in the main window, as I wanted to see different things in the respective views, but I can’t get it to show up anymore…

That’s part of the issue, yes.
I now found more information about this.
The layer panels on the Mac were redone in Rhino 7. In the early versions (7.0 through 7.3), it was possible to see the layer tree in the Layout and detail layer panel. It was here that it was possible to turn off a layer while a model space viewport was active.

To fix this on a Mac you have the following options:

• Move the objects to a new layer
• Open the file in Rhino 7.0 - 7.3 and turn the layer back on
• Import the file into a new file
• ExportAll to a new file
