What is Model ON?

[guido]

[menno (Menno Deij - van Rijswijk)]

From the built-in help:

This controls the visibility in layouts and details, for example if the global visibility is ON, the objects in a layer with Model=OFF are not visible in model space, but still show in layouts and details.

and how is this useful? genuine question

Hi Guido -

@guido

and how is this useful?

It has been a long-standing wish that users can turn on and off layers in the model space without having to worry about putting things back in specific states for all the details on all the layouts to still be as required.

Layer visibility in Detail, Not Painful Anymore!

I really thought we had got some momentum on this issue and McNeel would be solving it soon, but 3 years have gone past, there is a new version of Rhino and lots of neat documentation tools but this one persists. Now I see in youtrack issue closed? [image] how is this possible? @mary @wim @KelvinC @Bozo

if you’re referring to this thread I’m not sure how it helps

I got it

Layer visibility in Detail, Not Painful Anymore!

@Gijs @mary I see. This is great, I can finally document in Rhino! For sure I will swap “model on” to the left with global “on” to the far right or, (just noticed this Rh8 feature), turn off the column [image] I need to make sure my team only controls model visibility with “model on” and keeps global “on” vis permanently on. Thanks to all the McNeel team for getting this done! I want to remove the still painful from the title but can’t edit old post…
