Hello, How can I set a sublayer to IsVisible = false? I can set the value to false but the layer still visible when the command ends. I’ve tried to set “UnsetPersistentVisibility” and set the persistent visibility to false but without results. How can I do it? Thanks,

Try this: protected override Rhino.Commands.Result RunCommand(Rhino.RhinoDoc doc, Rhino.Commands.RunMode mode) { int layer_index = doc.Layers.CurrentLayerIndex; bool current_state = false; DialogResult res = Rhino.UI.Dialogs.ShowSelectLayerDialog(ref layer_index, "Select Layer", false, false,…

[image] dale: layer.IsVisible = false; layer.SetPersistentVisibility(false); layer.CommitChanges(); thanks,

Got a side question here of you don’t mind. What does SetPersistentVisibility do?

The persistent visibility setting is used for layers whose visibility can be changed by a “parent” layer. In this case, when a parent layer is turned off, then child layers are also turned off. The persistent visibility setting determines what happens when the parent is turned on again. Create some…

Thanks. Great too know. Was strugling with this a while ago. Gave an error when I tried to edit a sub-layer when the parent was off :stuck_out_tongue:

For some reason @dale ’s solution didn’t work for me. This is what I had first tried: public static void LayerOff(string LayerName) { int index = doc.Layers.Find(LayerName, true); if (index >= 0) { newLayerSettings.IsVisible = false; …

I just ran the code I posted two years ago, and it still works. :wink: Here is the complete command code: https://github.com/dalefugier/SampleCsCommands/blob/master/SampleCsLayerOff.cs As neither of your static functions build, I am unable to test… – Dale

I just had to deal with this as well, and was having the same trouble that @mpelzer was, but I think I figured out the underlying issue. What apparently happens is that the LayerTable indexer returns a new Layer object each time it’s invoked (that is, Object.ReferenceEquals(doc.Layers[0], doc.Layers…

This should be fixed in V6. I changed the code so CommitChanges is performed immediately when any sort of adjustments are made to a layer.
