Hi Andy, I see what you mean now - for just hiding the edges, the second click as I described above works for that part, but then showing just the particular edges you want is where you have a problem.

But I think that it's possible that the scene browser can be modified a bit in v3 to solve this particular thing with sub-objects without needing to introduce some special overriding hide property like you were talking about previously.

Like you mentioned a shift+click could be a possibility or maybe just a single click on those particular sub-object types should look for this situation of visible parent objects that have some sub-objects hidden and flip all those particular sub-objects to be on with the first click. That would mean that it would then take a second click on it to show all edges, and a 3rd click to hide them all. I'll need to think about that a little bit.

In the meantime, it should be possible to set up a keyboard shortcut with a script on it that will do that one show operation that is currently missing. I'll cook up a script for that shortly and post it here.

Hi Andy, here's a script that should perform the edge showing operation that you wanted:

script: /* Show all edges of visible objects */ var breps = moi.geometryDatabase.getObjects().getBReps(); for ( var i = 0; i < breps.length; ++i ) { var brep = breps.item(i); if ( !brep.hidden ) brep.getEdges().setProperty( 'hidden', false ); }


To set this up, go to Options> Shortcut keys, and push the Add button to add a new blank entry to the top of the list.

Then for the Key column, put in whatever key you want to trigger it, maybe E since it involves edges.

Then in the Command column on the right-hand side, paste in the above script.

Then after that you can type E (or whatever you set up as the key) to get the particular edges that you want to be shown - the script will only show edges on objects that are currently visible and not touch the edges on objects that are totally hidden.

Thanks! I will give this a try as soon as I get a chance.
