Turn off all layers except selected?

[johnjohn78]

Hi All,

Is there a plugin or method to turn off all layers except the geometry that is already selected?

Thanks in advance

Make selection, paste following code into Ruby Console, press Enter.

mod = Sketchup.active_model
sel = mod.selection
unless sel.empty?
  layers = []
  sel.to_a.each{|e|
    layers << e.layer
  }
  layers.flatten!;layers.uniq!
  mod.layers.each{|l|
    next if layers.include?(l)
    l.visible=false
  }
end

You might also to want to trap to avoid trying to switch off the 'current layer' [which is usually, but not exclusively, Layer0], otherwise that could throw an error...
