Wish V6: Better Layout Management

[Eugen]

@Patt

IMH a lot of Rhino layout problems could be fixed if Layout (Paperspace) Layers could be decoupled from Model Layers- the way it works in traditional Architectural CAD.

Exactly. My wish would be that when working in model space the layer panel gets a second row of on/off lightbulbs, one being the master switch for everywhere (also layouts), the other only for model space viewports. I posted this idea here, (however, it got no tracktion there):

Layer States per Detail

Hello! Here’s an idea how to solve that issue: Give the Layer panel in model space a second ‘local’ layer visibility flag (lightbulb icon) - just like Detail viewports already have! After all, both makes sense: turning off a layer locally or globally. ‘Local’ of course toggles visibility only in this viewport/detail (which is remembered per viewport - just like it is in Details). ‘Global’ toggles layer visibility in ALL viewports/details. In other words, model viewports should just be equa…
