Force Invisible objects to be seen

Is there really no way to force invisible objects to be seen in a model Editor that I've created?? It seems like there must be a way, since the Outliner and Hypergraph get access to those nodes... Does anyone have any Ideas? Please??

hwat kind of invisible objects? you can always make them visible.

I mean just objects that have the visibility attribute set to "off". The reason I don't want to make them visible is because I want them to remain invisible in other windows/panels.

When you say "model Editor", do you mean a specific model Panel? If so, you could create a custom model Panel with a special name that is consistent (or a prefix or suffix that is consistent) and turn on or off visibility for that panel only...

That sounds like it would work, but how do I do that?

Well, here's an example that will create a new Model Editor and effectively "hide" all the selected objects that you have by using Isolate Selection...

window myWindow;
paneLayout;
modelPanel myPanel;
showWindow myWindow;
InvertSelection;
string $selected[] = ls -sl -fl;
modelPanel -edit -cam "top" myPanel;
modelEditor -edit -vs 1 -ss myPanel;
