Hide or show specific items

Show or hide different items (geometry, lights, grid, and so on) on a per-window basis.

Hide/show items from the window title bar

This is the easiest and quickest way to change the visibility of items in a single window.

1. Click the Show button in the title bar of the window where you want to change the visibility of items.

   A menu is displayed.

2. Click an item type to show it (check mark) or hide it (no check mark).
   Note:

   Hold down the key to toggle several items without closing the menu. Click outside the menu to close it.

   

Hide/show items from the Show option box

This method works for the current window or all windows.

1. Choose WindowDisplay > Show to open the option box.
2. Select a mode (Show or Toggle)
3. Put a check mark in the boxes of all items you want to affect.
4. Put a check mark next to All Windows if you want to affect the visibility of items in all windows, or remove the check mark to affect only the current window.
5. Click Go.

The settings take effect if the item type chosen is currently visible. If the item is turned off on an object basis (for example, by using one of the ObjectDisplay menu items), it remains off regardless of the choice made in the Show option box.

Note:

The individual tools are still available from the WindowDisplay > Toggles menu to make it easier to add the different display toggles to shelves.

Note:

Animation items (such as skeletons and IK handles) can be toggled from the Animation > Show menu.
