What is this witchcraft by Jonathan Pickup...?

[Amanda McDermott]

Hello @Jonathan Pickup - thanks for another helpful video at https://www.youtube.com/shorts/B7iMWmMEjts. You're obviously using a clever shortcut to auto-hide the layer (or class?) a clicked object is on... are you able to share what the shortcut is, please?!

I activate it by pressing "7" on my keyboard (not on the numpad though). Not sure if this is the same in the standard VW keyboard shortcuts. It can be customised to affect classes or layers and to show, hide or grey them. Holding 7 shows all classes or layers depending which mode it's in.

and should say it's called the Visibility Tool!

Thanks, but for me 7 is the fillet shortcut!

Aha, found it - 'V' for visibility, in the basic tool palette! Never used it before... now to mess with its settings! Thanks for your help @_James
