How about someone creating a Viewer IPAS connected to the Unhide requester which would display a Wireframe view of the selected object. This would be very useful to me as I always forget what I have called various objects. When there are a lot of objects in the scene it can be a real problem to unhide the right one. If such a product already exists, perhaps you could let me know.

It would be a trivial program to write for any IPAS developer who has our Viewer library (in DL17), but it would only work with r4, because of API support for Unhide in r4 but not r3, I think. (You'd have to check with Jonas for details about that.) – G

Just as a matter of interest, how can you display hidden items other than by name. I mean once they are hidden you cannot select them from the viewport, so why give any other option ? Chris

If you've got a portion of an object or elements faces hidden, and want to unhide the whole thing… that's what Unhide/Object and Element are for. – G
