Hide unselected

The Hide Unselected command seems to only work when in polygon mode. It would be so handy if I could hide everything else but the selected item. Is there a quick way to do so? I know it can be done using layers and so. But a Hide Unselected for objects would be easier. Does anyone know this?

Thanks

Erik

Hi Erik,

To my knowledge, if you like to avoid the “Layer Manager”, you have to install a plug in. Perhaps google it. (http://synesthetic.de/stuff/soloUpdate.zip) Please note that we do not support nor explain it here.

Please go ahead and use the suggestion option of MAXON for this feature. http://www.maxon.net/support/suggestions.html

All the best

Sassi

There is also “magicsolo” by nitro man, which is pretty much a clone of “soloUpdate”
You will also find a script by Bret Bays http://bretbays.com/2012/05/17/solo-selected-script/

Like Dr. Sassi mentioned, please send in a request for the feature.
A native solution would be wonderful…and as much as I would love to say Sassi and myself can make features happen, that is not the case. Only requests from customers like you smile

Thanks a lot. I installed the solo plugin. Works exactly as I had hoped for.

I have sent in a request. So hopefully in R15?

Thanks Dr. Sassi and Patrick

Hey Erik,

I’m glad it works for you and thanks for the request. MAXON loves user feedback! It is after all pretty artist driven, if I’m allowed to share my impression.

I would highly violate my NDA if I even go to comment on release features. So, please bear with me, when I try to keep the trust, that people have given to us.

Have a great day

Sassi
