Viewports with own layer states?

Rhino Rhino for Windows

Hi…,

a customer asked/wished, that the viewports should have their own layer states.

I showed him the LayerStateManager, which is a start, but with no viewport dependencies.

Any ideas/scripts?

Thanks

Hi Michael - that seems pretty involved, to me, to work around… I suppose one could manage something using a bunch of user data and a script, Basically creating a parallel layer state manager system - but I am not ready to jump into that one… I can add it to the wish heap.

Hi Pascal,

yes, to the wish heap is a good start.

Thanks

Since viewports are volatile and can be deleted and easily replaced, what should happen if a viewport with these proposed saved states was deleted? Take the saved states with them? Hang around as orphans?
Pascal is right. This could turn into a mess quickly.

Hi John,

why not just link optionally the LayerStates to Viewports?

Hi John,

Any chance this is any more possible than back in 2016? Seems like NamedSelection could help with something like this…? Figured it was worth asking.

Hi Alan -

Details have their own layer states; model viewport do not.
