how to make several objects visible or invisible at once?

huhut

Hello?

I am using daz studio 4.6.

in scene tab, clicking 'eye'-shpaed icon makes object invisible or visible.

But how can I make many objects invisible at the same time?

clicking all the objects' eye-shaped icons takes so long time...

I want to recude working process.

there should be many way, eg script,

(Sorry, I mssed and tell wrong ^^; edit )

I often create group from top menu. or use select children.
then go to parameter tab. general>display

or select them in scean then go to surface tab, I use opacity setting.

(I think there were way, to change visiblity ot once,, ,,)

:down:
making group seems only work,,,

there are many different case,, about hieralchy,,

about figure, (rigged) top node visibility decide all children,,I think,,
about obj , parent node can not decide visiblity of children,,
but create group, it work.

Only a Group will give the Ability to Turn off everything in the Group. I find it useful on crowds of figures as when they Have been grouped it will turn off all nodes in rigged figures. No other way will.

Ya,,Group can change visibility off about all grouped.

but when I hope to select some figures or obs in the group to make it visible,
there seems no good way.

eg,, usually when I make group in other aprication,
we can change visibility at once, tunr on and off.

but ds grouping not. need to keep visibity on about group node,
then select each on and off. if I only hope 5 obj visiblity on at same time, in group,
there seems no easy way.

then,, multi selection and decide visiblity script in menu, must need I think.
(I do not remember there were already by member, or not)

eg,
visibility>selected on and off or inverted visiblity.

huhut

kitakoredaz and Jaderail, thank you !!

You could also select them all and then use the Visible button in the the Display group in the Parameters pane.

Hi,, RIchard no I could not ^^;

if it worked before? I thought so. but at current I can not .
it only work about frist obj.
or is there any setting?

================
Ah,, I remember,,
I need to check on "consolidate" , in parameter option.
when I check it, it work.

I do not know there is another setting or not.

Richard Haseltine

Yes, the combination of Consolidate Properties and Show separate items will stop multi-adjustment of parameters from working.
