Hide selected objects from scenes except the active one?

renderiza

Hi,

I want to hide selected object from all scene except the one that is active.

This is the code I have so far...any ideas are welcome!

model = Sketchup.active_model
pages = model.pages
sel = model.selection

pages.each {|page|

	sel.each do |e|
		e.hidden = true
	end

	page.update

}

Cheers!

Perhaps something like

...
pages.each {|page|
  next if page == pages.selected_page # to skip active scene
...
}

Thanks TIG but there is a problem...

Lets say I have two scenes with two objects and I select the 1st object from 1st scene and do the script...it will work but...if I go to 2nd scene and select the 2nd object to do the script when I go to 1st scene the 1st object ends up hidden as well which it was not supposed to. (Hope this makes sense)

Anyhow it may be that the page.update needs to first select each page before doing update. So that means I can't use your suggestion but I did find a solution... Here is the code...

model = Sketchup.active_model
pages = model.pages
sel = model.selection
c_page = pages.selected_page

skip = []
skip << c_page.name

pages.each {|page|	
    pages.selected_page = page	
    if page.name != skip.first	
        sel.each do |e|
            e.hidden = true
        end	
        page.update
    end
}

page_num = 0
pages.each {|page|
     if page.name == skip.first
         pages.selected_page = model.pages[page_num]
         break
     end
     page_num+=1
}

skip.clear

Note: Updated the explanation a bit to fix it a little so it makes more scene hopefully.
