Creating Primitives In Isolation Mode?

[The-Digital-Shaman]

Hi,

Is it possible?

I mean, so I could see it.

Cheers for any info,
DS

Hi!

I assume that by "Isolation Mode" you mean "Isolate Select".

Go to your Viewports "Show" Menu and turn on the setting "Isolate Select -> Auto Load New Objects"

I hope it helps!

Hi Kahalan,

Thanks for the reply.

I have it ticked on all the time. It's not this.

By isolation mode I mean runtime command SelectIsolate;

{ string $currentPanel = `getPanel -withFocus`; int $match = `gmatch $currentPanel "modelPanel*"`; if($match == 1) { string $state = `isolateSelect -q -state $currentPanel`; if ($state) enableIsolateSelect $currentPanel false; else enableIsolateSelect $currentPanel true; }}

I recorded what happens when I create a primitive while in IsolateSelect mode.

Hmm, sadly I couldn't reproduce the issue. Since even if I toggle isolate select with this command, the new objects show up as expected.

Now what you could try is to use the isolateSelect command instead of enableIsolateSelect which is a toggle command with no real documentation...

{ string $currentPanel = `getPanel -withFocus`; int $match = `gmatch $currentPanel "modelPanel*"`; if($match == 1) { string $state = `isolateSelect -q -state $currentPanel`; if ($state) isolateSelect -s false $currentPanel; else isolateSelect -s true $currentPanel ; }}

but I'm not sure if that helps, since it works for me either way, so I couldn't test it out.

Hi! @The-Digital-Shaman .

This is a Maya specification. I don't think you can do it, and I don't think you can change it in Preferences either.
If you isolate, it will only show the number of selected items. If you have not selected any objects (including those you have created), they will exist but will not be visible.
If you have a complex scene with many objects, it is better to hide other objects when Creating Primitives.

Thanks Amaterasu,

That's a bummer.

3dsmax got it right long time ago.

Kahylan,
Your script just makes everything disappear, including selection.

I have made another recording.

Spheres and planes show up at the end of creation in isolateSelect mode.

Boxes, cones do not.

Maya is so inconsistent...

ikr? @Kahylan helps me a lot.

This Maya forum has an Idea forum. You or I can post about this instead.
I can post your request if you like.
