Hi guys,

I was wondering if there is a command for the useful option of using Ctrl + LMB on the Hide button to show all hidden objects and selecting the one(s) you want to unhide?

I'd like to assign it to a keyboard shortcut. Maybe it's accessible through a script?

Muchas gracias in advance,

Metin

Hi Metin, try putting in this for the keyboard shortcut:

script: /* Show subset of hidden objects */ moi.geometryDatabase.showSubset();

Ah, perfect, thanks once again for your sublime support, Michael.

Hi Michael, on that same topic what would a script for simply unhiding all hidden objects look like?

Thanks,

Well, the regular Edit > Hide button will do different things depending on whether there is a selection or not - if there is a selection it hides it. If there isn't any selection it unhides everything.

If you want a shortcut key script that behaves the same as that, put in this script:

script: /* Trigger Edit > Hide */ moi.geometryDatabase.hide();


If you want something that does not do different things depending on the selection and just only strictly unhides things, put in this instead:

script: /* Unhide all */ var objs = moi.geometryDatabase.getObjects(); for ( var i = 0; i < objs.length; ++i ) { var obj = objs.item(i); obj.hidden = false; obj.getSubObjects().setProperty( 'hidden', false ); }

Perfect! Sometimes I want to unhide everything without losing my selection and this will work perfectly.

It would be fantastic if we could have a thread or a spot on your webpage for all of these wonderful little snippets.

Currently the area that's closest to that is Petr's page here:

Many of the most useful and most frequently asked for ones are collected there currently.

At some point in the future I want to make a type of script library that you would be able to browse from within MoI, probably integrated with the shortcut key setup...

The script library would be awesome.

Thanks for all of your help, Michael.

An integrated script library with scripts that can be easily assigned to shortcuts would indeed be great!
