New layer shows in all the layout details

I think so, yes.

I think this command does exactly what we are looking for, but only at windows. @John, isn’t there a command that turns on the layout detail layer in the active detail only? Right click on the layer when inside the detail…

Sorry, I don’t really know. I do not use these tools. My Rhino expertise is in other areas. I think @mary is the expert on these tools.

There have been many topics about this issue and also on the windows side. I have used the windows version in the past, V5, and as far as remember, the limitation was there too. I would love to be corrected though!

I just looked in the Mac V7 WIP and do not see the tools there either.
My guess is they are not compatible with Mac’s forced multi-document setup.
In Windows we can run multiple instances of Rhino (if we have the resources), and each instance is a single document.
That isn’t allowed on Mac and it limits some tool. I think this may be one of those cases.

On Mac is a different panel

Maybe that’s it.

Those are the tools that controls the visibility per detail. It’s a bit different from windows but same functionality as far as I know.

Here and here are a couple of topics regarding these limitations.

Here is the functionality I had on my mind!!!

Turns off all the layers but the layer in active detail. This we are missing on mac

jespizua · May 13, 2020, 9:48pm

I’m glad you were right!! Can we have this on Mac @dan?

petumatr · May 14, 2020, 9:56am

Yeah! I hope so, this would extremely facilitate the work.

This is the workaround I’ve developed:

Create new layer
Set print width to NoPrint

FOR EACH DETAIL YOU’D LIKE TO ENABLE PRINTING:

Set detail print width to Default, or whatever you like
ditto for layout print width. (not sure why it’s necesssary to set both, but the extra clicks seem impossible to avoid)

Maybe someone has a script to reduce the clicking involved?

For example, see the "Mesh-extracted’ layer:
