Can you be specific? I think what you are after is simply understanding how to do it: display displayed or.... hide hidden or.... This is exactly like select selected or.... In other words, "display" and "hide" always describe precisely what to display or hide. Just like select. My argument is that it is far simpler to go with what logic we already have. Your "switch", I think, is just to be sure you yourself add "displayed or" .... "hidden or" .... in cases where that is what you want to do. This is the way select works, and it's precisely the same for "display" and "hide" >But we should discuss this on the user-list. > > > the discussion is open. >While testing 10.9.75 I noted the following: > >1) The 'hide' command doesn't hide everything.

The reason is that if you have surfaces, those surfaces must be described for individual molecules and generated independently. Are these dots you are using surfaces, or just spherical elaborations of halos? If the latter, I could set it to do exactly that explicitly or implicitly when dots are on. I'll take that message out in the next edition, and you can see if there's any reason for it yourself. I might have just done that because it's definitely true for isosurfaces.
