Hidden Outliners in Scenes
-
Is it possible to hide one outliner in one scene, but make that outliner visible in another scene?
What I am trying to do: I want to make an alternative floorplan. So have one version of the floorplan on one outliner and the alternative in another. So I tried to create two scenes: one scene with the first outliner hidden and another scene with the other hidden. The problem is the scene doesn't seem to retain the hidden outliner. The scene will only show the currently hidden outliner.
Let me know if that makes sense and if you have advice.
Thanks,

I don't know what an "outliner" is, but that probably doesn't matter. On the Scenes window, check that the scenes are set to save "Hidden Geometry". Then hide/unhide the desired parts on a scene, right-click the scene's tab and select "Update" before switching to the other scene.

It will be easier if you assign layers to the "outliners". Make one layer visible only on the first scene and one visible only in the second scene.

To use layers or simple hiding, your "outliners" should be groups or components. If they are edges and faces, associating them with hidden layers is almost certain to cause issues because loose edges and faces on hidden layers or simply hidden still interact with other loose edges and faces!
