Nils Norgren Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 OK i'll start, This is a suggestion that I have discussed idily with folks within and outside autodesk, It may be unfeasible based on underlying code in the way viewports are drawn, but here goes anyway. ---------------------------------------------------------------- SHORT TITLE FOR SUGGESTION/BUG/ENHANCEMENT REQUEST ---------------------------------------------------------------- Objects specific viewport "Show" "Hide" settings --------------------------------------------------------------- DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF YOUR REQUEST --------------------------------------------------------------- This feature is (And has been) in maya. Currently in Max within the Display panel there are check boxes for "Hide by category" to hide things in the view based on type, IE. quickly turn everything off except lights, splines, geometry, etc. I use this feature all the time, the basic ideas is to attach this "Hide by" feature to each viewport. --------------------------------------------------------------- WHY THIS REQUEST IS IMPORTANT TO YOU --------------------------------------------------------------- This feature would be useful in that you could have a viewport with everything shown, in another view only helpers, or lights, etc. This would allow for easier manipulation of many things. I often build complicated rigs with hierarchies of dummies, I use the selection filters to only select them or a combination, but If i could set a view to only show helpers it would allow for much quicker manipulation. Hope this brings a flood of more (better) ideas! -Nils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find myself constantly hiding and unhiding different elements but If I could set that by viewport it would reduce much of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAcky Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 great idea for not just animation. Have the fully skinned and shaded model in one view and be manipulating just the rig in another view. Nice one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jefferson Grigsby Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 could you not script hot kets to toggle these on and off, sorta like maya? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
