I am a keen user of SU - finding it really useful in my job (consulting structural engineer working with large contractors - often looking at the pros and cons of different construction sequences).
I can usually get my hands on a pre-drawn model of a building’s structure - which usually retains it’s layering (commonly many tens) when I import to SU.
In SU I create different sequences for alternate ways of building the building. I use Scenes to create my first version and then vary the methodology by creating other versions with various layers switched earlier or later.
Switching on/off the layers in various scenes is a pain - I make use of Plug-ins that control the visibility of the layer (‘only current scene’ or ‘all subsequent’ scenes) and other Layer Manager tools - but - it’s still a pain. The problem is made more difficult because I am commonly dealing with temporary propping elements that come in at an early stage and then come back out again.
This brings me eventually to my question:
Is there a Plug-in that would allow me to control layer visibility for multiple layers in multiple scenes on one page? I am thinking of something like an Excel Spreadsheet with the layers (by name) down one side and scenes (by number) across the top?
Kind wishes

. If you know several scenes will have identical layer visibility, you can set it in the layer panel, select those scenes, and untick and retick the Visible Layers checkbox for the scenes. If the scenes however should have different layer visibility and you want to set the visibility for just a few specific layers, I don’t know of an easy way to di it as of now.
