I don’t know if I’m encountering a bug or if there is something i can do about my issue : the objects of a layer are not displaying. They don’t appear on any viewport, they don’t seem to be hidden and the layer is activated. It looks like the layer is empty (when I “select objects from layer” no object is selected) but if I try to delete the layer I get a message telling me 15 objects will be deleted if I delete said layer.
I tried copy/pasting the same object from another file and the same thing happened. The object is displayed correctly on the file I’m copying from but it doesn’t appear on the file where I’m pasting.
Just to expand on that in case you are not fully conversant with block behaviour, you have block instances that are associated with the ‘oscullati’ layer. Instances are essentially pointers to blocks made up of component parts. These instances are actually held in a table, they themselves don’t sit on the canvas. Where Rhino sees one of these pointers, it uses it to identify that block of components and places a copy of them on the canvas.
Because the instances (pointers) are not on the canvas, you can’t select them like drawn objects. However you can select their components. Provided they are visible.
In your case, while the instances are associated with the ‘oscullati’ layer, the components that they point to are on the ‘Définitions de blocs’ layer and you have that turned off. Turn it on and you will be able to select the instances.
The key takeaway here is that both the layer an instance is associated with, and the layer on which that instance’s components lie both have to be on to select the instance.
