Can you provide the logic for "Unfreeze Subset"? What if the frozen object is hidden?

Logic is that we could use selection tools to unfreez objects. For example we can select full hierarchy or branch and unfreez it.

What if the freeze object is hidden?
If this feature is availible things become to complicated.
Lets set simple rule object can be freezed only if it is visible and can not be hidden if it is freezed. I can not see advanges of hidding freezed objects never did it :) If you wan to hide something hide it, if you want to freez something freez it  :)

If you are in Frozen Subset and you will try to Hide or Isolate frozen objects you will get message -
You can not Hide/Isolate objects if you are in Frozen Subset.

If you are in Hidden Subset and you will try to Freeze or Isolate Hidden objects you will get message -
You can not Freeze/Isolate objects if you are in Hidden Subset.

In Hierarchy Window or Scene explorer in context menu just hide Freeze/Hide if one of selected object is hidden or frozen.

It will be simple and nice solution that will keep order and discipline.

Selection > Unfreeze Subset. This command is used to add part of the visible frozen objects into the visible selectable items. There is a flag associated with this command. When this command is fired and the flag is off, the frozen items will be unfrozen, the unfrozen items will be made hidden and the flag will be turned on. When this command is fired and the flag is on, unselected visible items will be frozen, items previously hidden by this command will be made visible and the flag will be turned off. For a complete operation, this command needs to be fired twice.

The new Hide tool and Freeze tool are modified. Nothing will happen if no selection.

I just reworked some requests.

Bugs:

1. Disabling tools and messages.

When Isolate Selection is Active:

- You can Hide Objects. Fix it and add message!
- You can Freeze Objects. Fix it and add message!
- You can run UnHide Subset. Fix it and add message!
- You can not run UnFreez Subset but there is no message. Add message pleas!

When Hidden Subset is Active;
- You can Hide Objects. Fix it and add message!
- You can Freeze Objects. Fix it and add message!

When UnFreeze Subset is Active;
- You can Freeze Objects. Fix it and add message!
- Freez/Unfreez Check State become False, but have to stay True, Fix it pleas.


2. When Unfreeze Subset$ is ON, Hide$ have Check State True, fix it pleas.

3. Now when you activate Isolate Selection$ with Polygons it isolate selected polygons only from the Polygons of the same object and all other objects are visible. So can you pleas make it to hide not only polygons of the selected object but also all other objects.
Now it looks like this, I isolated some polygons from Box:


But have to look like this:




Requests:
4. Make pleas Hide$, Hide/Unhide$, Unhide Subset$, Isolate Selection$ to work only in Object and Polygon mode. Now you can hide/Unhide or Isolate Vertexes.

5. Add pleas P_Viewport Color tool, it will set colors for Viewport:

Viewport Color1 (Bool)
Viewport Color2 (Bool)
Viewport Border (Bool)
Back Color (Bool)

R(String) - Red
G(String) - Green
B(String) - Blue

It will allow me to change colors of viewport when Unhide Subset$ or Unfreez Subset$ is aactive. It will be clear signal to user that one of subset is active.

6. Remove please Hide$, Hide/Unhide$ from undo Stuck.

7. If you use Isloate selection two times in one Composite tool Second Isolate Selection does not work:



8. removed it accidentally.

Thanks! Everything fixed except these:

1.
When Isolate Selection is Active:
- Now You can NOT run UnHide Subset but there is no message add it pleas.
- Now You can NOT run UnFreez Subset but there is no message add it pleas.

2. Not Fixed. When Unfreeze Subset$ is ON, Hide$ have Check State True, fix it pleas.

4. Still hide vertexes: Hide$, Hide/Unhide$. But have to work only with Polygons and Objects.

1.2. I can't reproduce the bug. Can you send me your config and also make a video so I can follow your way to check it?

4. Some people use Hide/Unhide$ to work on vertices.

I don't know the reason. But some one asked if there is this function before. I think it was two years ago, some where in a thread in the forum. I think 3ds max may have it in my memory.

8. Does not work.
When Unhide Subset is active Hide$ and Hide/Unhide$ have to have Check state true also now they have check state - False.

* Edit > Customize > Tools > Common Shortcut Tools > P_Viewport Color, Reset Viewport Color1, Reset Viewport Color2, Reset Viewport Border Color.



6. Remove please Hide$, Hide/Unhide$ from undo Stuck.

What is the reason for this? What if you hide something then want to undo?
