Is there a way to temporarily hide an object in Moray so its not part of the
rendering and not on the screen?

type "visibility" into the help file and read that- it'll explain
it in detail.

hi mitchell!
Dearmads visibility levels only changes the visibility of objects in
moray. if you want objects not to be rendered, you must uncheck the
render-checkbox of the objects.

You read my mind. I was just trying to figure out how/where to control an
objects rednerness. Does each object have such a checkbox and where exactly
is it hidden?

thanks

Hi Mitchell Waite, you recently wrote in moray.win:

It's on the Modify Tab of the object with the other flags (no_shadow,
etc). It's labelled "Export".
Note that export is only considered for top-level objects. Children
are always exported if parents are exported. 

Also take a look at Layers for visibility stuff. Using Ctrl-1 toggles
layer 1 on and off.

that reminds me, how difficult would it be to give objects a variable detail
level?

something like, highest setting draws everything, medium draws only main
object and immediate child objects, almost lowest draws only the parent,
lowest gives you a bounding box?

The current architecture would make this a tad bit difficult.
Especially keeping the non-OpenGL viewport drawing....
