Is there a way to write a macro that can quickly turn ON and ON the visibility of the selected parts? I find that I am turning the visibility on and off parts very frequently with a lot of clicking.

  • Of course it is doable, but there might be easier ways to accomplish what you are looking for. But it can be kind of tedious work. Technically, you can write a dynamic dialog box that adjusts to show all parts in a model with a check box next to each item where you can switch visibility. It would probably take me 3 days to write this, but the fact that I haven't done that in the last 30 years indicates that it is probably not worth the effort.
     
    If it is the same parts that you want to switch visibility on, just create a group with all those parts. Then go to the 'Groups' tab in the model browser, right click on the group name and select 'Attributes'. In the dialog box that comes up, switch the visibility attribute.
