Hi Michael,
Still having a blast with this program!
I had a suggestion about the "Show-Hide" function. Would it be possible to implement a way to show the "hidden"area that shows all of the objects hidden?
That way the user could pick what they want to un-hide and hit a "show" button and then toggle back to the "model"space.
This is a function that is currently used in the CATIA cad package and is extremely useful for complex models. This way you would not have to delete and profiles just in case you wanted to use them later.

I hope I'm making sense here. I'm not good at online descriptions.

Thanks!
Richard

Hi Richard, I think I understand your suggestion, I was also just discussing it on the next message thread down.

This is the way that I was thinking it would work - if you push "Hide" and there is nothing selected, then that means you want to show objects. Right now it shows all objects, but I would change this to temporarily display all hidden objects, then there would be a prompt in the upper-right corner that said something like "Select objects to show, or push Done to show all". Then you could select some of the objects you wish to show, push done (or right-click in a viewport which is an alias for "Done"), and then only those particular objects would turn visible, the other hidden objects that you did not select would remain hidden.

Does that sound right?

I have kind of a backlog of stuff to do, so it will take me just a bit to get to this.

Michael,
That's exactly what I was talking about :)
But the way you have it implemented is better than what I had described. More intuitive.

Please take your time. You can't rush perfection and you seem to be on the right track for that!
