OBJECT MANAGER • 783
The items in this menu control the viewport and render visibility for the selected object. Alternatively,
you can change the visibility using the visibility dots in the middle column of the Object manager:
Both dots are grey by default. The upper dot controls viewport visibility, the lower dot render visibility.
Each dot has three states: grey, green and red.
To apply a status to all child objects, Ctrl-click the parent object’s dot. The
status will be transferred to all its child objects.
To set the top and bottom visibility dot at the same time, Ctrl-click either
dot.
Editor Unchanged (upper dot gray)
The object adopts the viewport visibility of its immediate parent. If the object is on the top hierarchy
level (i.e. has no parent), it will be displayed as normal. Editor Unchanged is the default setting for
new objects.
Editor On (upper dot green)
The object will be visible in the viewport, even if the hierarchy parent is invisible (red).
Editor Off (upper dot red)
The object is hidden in the viewport, even if the hierarchy parent is visible (green).
Renderer Unchanged (lower dot gray)
The object adopts the render visibility of its parent. If the object is on the top hierarchy level (i.e. has
no parent), it will be rendered as normal. This is the default setting for a new object.
Renderer On (lower dot green)
The object will be visible in the render, even if the hierarchy parent is invisible (red).
Renderer Off (lower dot red)
The object is not displayed in the render, even if the hierarchy parent is visible (green).
