I really miss layers. So much that I have learned a little bit of coding to allow the required functionality similar to Rhino, for example.
The best layer addons i have found are
vtools_objectsLayerManager.py - as it has good ui, and you can quickly hide and unhide multiple layers
super_grouper.py - the hiding hack implementation of placing objects in a temporary different scene is great as it is independent form the objects outliner visibility (“h”/“alt” + “h”), and render visibility
So I have forked objectsLayerManager, and modified the code as in super_grouper to place objects not visible in a temp different scene.
Will not install. Any suggestions? The py file is in my roaming folder but I cannot enable it. I put the py file in my addons_extern folder.What do I search for? I am using 2.79. Should I delete the file out of my roaming folder or addon_extern maybe?Thanks
It is located in the relations tab in the tools panel on the left hand side. Were you able to get it to work? If not here is another location from where you can download it: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AjOyIlYnTjWAjIkxZg8JeqhtmFsy6Q
Alt+H is unhiding everything in the scene, it`s really important for complex scenes. And after unhiding I have to click on the eye icon for each layer one by one. How to fix that?
Fix: My mistake: it appears only when I clicking on a dot on the left side of a layer
Hi Volden, I am not sure what you mean. The Layer manager is located in the tools section (T) on the left hand side under the relations tab, not the properties section (N)
