Description

This new script I created will allow the user to unhide objects using the mouse button, by temporarily hiding the current scene and unhiding all hidden objects so you can pick the objects you like to unhide. After picking the objects you can right-click and your original scene is back again plus the objects you've picked.

good idea, but what do you do, if you have a complex object which is linked to a point?
than you need to pick all elements of the object, its not working if you just pick the Master point

Hi,

Thanks for your comment,

It's true that with linked objects you need to select

Each object alone. I can make it in a way that the children are

Unhidden when the top parent is picked, maybe as an optional setting

With a dialog box asking. Sometimes it's hard to guess what the user like

In a tool. I'll think about it, now I'm busy with two projects.
