Hi Tony, yeah unfortunately the old behavior where the show function was always "show subset" was just too confusing to too many people. I got too many questions like "why did the objects reverse and then reverse back again?", etc...

So that's why they were broken into some separate functions.

It is possible to get the old behavior with a keyboard shortcut script though, for that use the following:

script: /* hide selected objects, or show subset if no selection */ var gd = moi.geometryDatabase; if ( gd.getSelectedObjects().length != 0 ) { gd.hide(); } else { gd.showSubset(); }

Thanks very much Michael. That's just what I was after.

I also found the old hide confusing for a while - but like all your new ideas it became very useful once I got used to it :)

With the new behavior I don't like how it unhides everything, so then I have to go back and hide a bunch of objects again. If you have a lot of hidden objects this can be a nuisance.

Thanks again.
