Hiding any future modelled geometry after saving a scene

[aaronbuild]

Hi all - is their a way i can save a scene and hide any future geometry i add to the model?
Eg: when i’m modelling i would like to save a scene of a certain component (or various) and continue to finish my model without having to go back through all my scenes hiding and updating my scenes.
Thanks Aaron

First, you should be assigning tags to the components and using them to control visibility. You can use a n extension from the Extension Warehouse to create tags that will be turned off in existing scenes. The extension is called Auto Invisible Layer but it works with tags, too.

Thanks Dave, already use tags for pretty well everything. Extension does the job provided EVERYTHING is assigned to a tag. Ideally, on creating a scene i would love to have the option to auto hide or not for that particular scene. Thanks again for your help - i will be using this extension a lot.

Perhaps you can try this one too:

MATRIX - all about visibilities ( Experimental ! )

MATRIX - all about visibilities [Experimental Extension] *(Eyes MATRIX, I MATRIX ) © 2022, Dezmo [MATRIX1] The main goal is to be able to change “every possible visibility” from scene to scene — even bulk at once — without having to go through, modify, and update each scene manually. It is a kind of Outliner, containing not only the hierarchy of selected instances and groups but (hierarchy of) other selected drawingelements, all Tags, then the properties of scenes. There are column…

I think he’s already got that one.
