    as in, it turns the two ‘dots’ in the objects manager from grey to red, thereby hiding the object.
    i find i’m always clicking those damn dots to hide something… is there a better way to quickly hide something?

    …putting a display tag on an object gives you some of that functionality — not perfect, but a little quicker.

    If you’re in v9, hold down alt or option while you click the red dots. This new little trick has saved my sanity.

    There’s a list of little v9 workflow enhancements here (v9.5 has even more):

    bless you sir.
    i’ve been using c4d since ’98, and who knows how many days i’ve lost clicking those two dots individually.

    Then you’ll love this: hold down Ctrl while clicking to change the dots of the selected object plus all children. Works in conjunction with the Alt shortcut too. 🙂
