Hiding specific objects?

[Joe Carrick]

There's a couple of ways that this could be programmed into Chief - the simplest IMO would be:

Objects could be reassigned to a "non-visible" layer and their ID & correct layer recorded in a "hidden" list.

There would then be some simple tool to "Un-hide" starting with the last item on the list which would reassign to the correct layer for that object. It's a classic stack-popping operation.

Of course, to un-hide all the program would simply cycle thru the entire list until it was empty.

Basically this is almost the same as how UNDO is handled in a program.
