good stuff - I think that should fix the problem I've been having...will use on my next model for sure!

any chance you can post that *.*rb file here - my work internet is blocking my access to it

I'm afraid that won't give me the control over the information that I need.

If I end up having LOTS of hidden groups in one layer how can i unhide just one or the other? I suppose maybe the outliner would help with that if i named my groups - I'm used to creating a section, copying it up, creating a layer and naming it what the scene will be called and then putting that group on that layer giving me the ability in scene 1 Street A Before to have that layer on and then in Scene 2 Street A After to have that layer on - then when i go to create the next street I can just copy and create a new group and modify it - now that group/layer will show up in every scene created PRIOR to that point which is the issue.

how does hiding groups instead of layering help with that?

Thanks!

I am working on a model that has a lot of different street sections in it. Once I add a new section and isolate that section with a layer name that layer is added to ALL of my scenes. Is there a way to remove one layer from multiple scenes at once?

Thanks!
