[Closed] Forced hide/freeze

Hi,

is there any way to override unhide/unfreeze functions of 3dsmax UI/keyboard shortcut for a specific object? I want to freeze/hide a few objects which wouldn’t get unhidden and unfrozen when “Unhide all/Unfreeze all” buttons in display panel would be used (or the corresponding keyboard shortcuts). It should work without some kind of callback script because I need to save this into a CAT rig.

I’m asking in maxscript forum because I guess if that would be possible, maxscript would probably be able to do that.

Working with layers will enable you to do this. Put the objects on a Layer and turn the layer off.

In the General tab of the preferences, Layer Defaults group, check Default to ByLayer for new nodes and set ‘Propagate Unhide/Unfreeze Commands to Layers’ to ‘Do Not Propagate’

Many thanks
