Visibility Tool Selection


BenV

Question

I work a lot with nested symbols and typically have many classes held inside various container symbols. I really like using the Visibility tool as a direct way to control what I'm seeing, but when I hover over a symbol, all I can turn off is the container class that the symbol lives on, not the potentially many sub-classes held within. I wish there was a way to tell it to look inside the symbol to select a class, rather than just the container.

I do exactly the same.

For me it is also not very satisfying with Class control.

 

I second the wish to extend/improve the Visibility Tool.

Perhaps there should also be a way to be able to force Container Content of invisible classes

to be temporarily forced to show in gray.

 

To workaround I generally use one ore more special Container Classes where I place all

parent Symbols and Plugins. (Like 0_SYMBOLS, 0_WALLS,  ....)

These, like the None Class normally stay visible all the time.

They are sorted by the Prefix to stay in a block on top of my Classes.

 

So beside some other special Classes like for 2D,

all my normal Classes act like Material (and/or Part) Classes, in which Class Block I do all my

normal manual visibility manipulations.

(Which you have to do as the use of Containers makes a "show active only" useless)
