Hide the hierarchy of objects

dg3duy — Fri, 02 Apr 2021 21:17:40 GMT

I am hiding all the objects in a hierarchy but I need to not hide the objects that are editable poly and mesh that are still visible.
I am currently using a function that selects the entire hierarchy and hides the objects.

fn getChildren obj includeParent:false selectObjs:false = ( children = for c in obj.children collect c for c in children do join children (for c in c.children collect c) if includeParent do append children obj if selectObjs do select children children hide children obj ) getChildren $Character_root_Ctrl fn getChildreninverse obj includeParent:false selectObjs:false = ( children = for c in obj.children collect c for c in children do join children (for c in c.children collect c) if includeParent do append children obj if selectObjs do select children children unhide children obj clearselection() ) getChildreninverse $Character_root_Ctrl

here is all you need:

fn getHierarchy root = (join #() root) fn isEditablePolyMesh node = (iskindof node Editable_Poly or iskindof node Editable_Mesh) fn excludeEdidablePolyMesh nodes = ( for node in nodes where not isEditablePolyMesh node collect node ) fn collectEdidablePolyMesh nodes = ( for node in nodes where isEditablePolyMesh node collect node ) /* nodes = getHierarchy $ are_epms = collectEdidablePolyMesh nodes not_epms = excludeEdidablePolyMesh nodes */

fn getHierarchy root = (join #() root) fn isEditablePolyMesh node = (iskindof node Editable_Poly or iskindof node Editable_Mesh) fn excludeEditablePolyMesh nodes = ( for node in nodes where not isEditablePolyMesh node collect node ) fn collectEditablePolyMesh nodes = ( for node in nodes where isEditablePolyMesh node collect node ) /* nodes = getHierarchy $ are_epms = collectEditablePolyMesh nodes not_epms = excludeEditablePolyMesh nodes */

PS. Fixed some misspellings
