What's the shortcut for hiding objects?

[Somian]

Hi,

I would like to have a shortcut for quick-hiding objects (equivalent of clicking the eye-button in the scene graph.)

I set "Hide Selection" in the keyboard settings, but that actually hides faces within a mesh, not the actual object.

I also tried "Invert visibility", which works for the entire object, but it seems to be independent from the eye-button. So when I use "invert visibility", the object becomes invisible, but the button in the scene graph is still active and it's not possible to make it visible again by clicking it.

 

[Shift Studio]

There is a tool script called 'Toggle Visiblity.js'
Do a search for it, download and install. Then in C3Ds preferences you can assign a hotkey of your choosing.
If you need more assistance, let me know.
--shift studio.

* I have set a hotkey, alt-V (alt-shift-V for render) for toggling visibility off/on. It is the equivalent of the eye-toggle (camera) on the left margin of the object browser and sets / resets this icon. It only only works on single objects.
* The eye- and the camera-toggle work on a multiple selection, if you want to hide / show a set of objects. In this case you are mousing around in the object browser, anyway, so the operability fits

@Helmut thats the better solution. Maybe that command wasn't always available in the keyboard preferences??
--shift studio.

I think you're right, I still have that script installed.
