Hi All, I have an object preselected. Then I do: -_SelLayer _Pick My previously selected object is still selected. I hit enter. The selection does not change. I still have the initially selected object selected, but no other objects of the layer got selected. If I select the object inside the c…

Seems like this may not be possible - looks like a bug or an oversight… Here is both a VB rhinoscript and a Python script (in case you’re on Mac) that do what you want… –Mitch Option Explicit Call SelLayerEx() Sub SelLayerEx() Dim objs, obj Rhino.UnselectAllObjects() objs = Rhino.Get…

Hi Mitch, awesome. Many thanks for the scripts!

Mitch, I made your script into a Rhinopython command within a plugin. Lets assume the command is called MitchSelLayer. I use it as follows in a macro: _MitchSelLayer _Pause _Invert _Hide Problem is, the macro does not stop at the _Pause, but hides all objects in the document. It does not seem to…

I don’t know - I’ve never used scripts in that way… I just have a tendency to integrate all the functions in the script itself. So you are trying to hide all other objects except those on selected layers? That’s just another couple of lines in the script. --Mitch import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs …

Thanks a lot for adding to the script. I was starting to like macros to make quick aliases. I would have used the MitchSelLayer in around 8 macros. I think I have to go back to scripting due to the limitations of macros to work in combination with scripts.
