  • unhide w/poly selection tag

    Posted by Ronaldo Montalvo on August 2, 2010 at 7:37 pm

    whenever i try to use the polygon selection tag “select and hide others” to isolate/see one element in a string of tags on an object i can never get the thing to unhide. have tried “unhide polygons”, “deselect polygons”and combinations that seem logical. the polygons render and are there but i can’t get the poly display to unhide. i’m stumped. what am i doing wrong? btw, i’m on a mac with c4d 11.5.

    Try this:
    Hide all the polygons, then just Selection/Unhide all.

    yes, finally i can get that to work but the commands/results seem really counter-intuitive. if i “select & hide others” you’d think that “unhide polygons” would simply and directly unhide the “others” (which you just hid) without having to re-hide and unhide all the polygons in the object. it would be nice if it worked in a straightforward way like a solo switch in audio. “select & hide others” to solo the element you want to see, and simply “unhide polys” to un-solo. thanks for the response.
