Do you mean if you have for example 25 layers in the layer manager and you only want the current layer visable, but you dont want to hve to manually check each layers hidden state?
if that is the case then this for loop will set only the current layer as unhidden and the rest to hidden.

for L = 1 to LayerManager.count do

(

layer = (layermanager.getlayer (L – 1))

if layer.current == true then layer.ishidden = false else layer.ishidden = true

– if layer.current == true then layer.isfrozen = false else layer.isfrozen = true

)

Cheers

Something like this:

fn selectNodesInLayer layerIndex = (

	if layerIndex >= 0 and layerIndex < LayerManager.count do (

		local layerRef = (LayerManager.getLayer layerIndex).layerAsRefTarg
			
		local nodesInLayer = #()
		if (layerRef.nodes &nodesInLayer) do (
			select nodesInLayer
		)
	)
)

HTH.

Not sure if this is the best way but it works:

for[color=#fffffe] L = 1 to LayerManager.count [color=#fffffe]do
[/color][/color][size=1](

layer = (layermanager.getlayer (L – 1))

if layer.name == “a” then layer.ishidden = false else layer.ishidden = true
)

[/size]
