when configurating a layout in VC we often use 2D cad files (.dwg) as reference for objects our customers supply to us. This includes the room layout for a new concept such as walls, pillars or just the avaible floor surface, but also objects that we need to include into the process when making a concept. So we often have this dwg on z=0 all the time. When we select objects (e.g. robots) we often select unintentionally the dwg file on the floor. Is there a way to make certain objects “unselectable”, like the lock in the cell graph where you can make objects unmoveable?
Could you just lock and hide the drawing when it is not needed?
Another option is to use the Focus mode when e.g. programming robots to temporarily focus on a particular area of the simulation necessary for the task.
Both approaches result in not seeing the floor layout any more. We are often in the situation that we need the it all the time. Another option would be to rebuild all important structure with basic shapes and walls. But this would take several days considering some floor layouts with a level of detail.
Focus mode doesn’t necessarily hide the parts that are not in focus, just disable selecting them from the 3D viewport. You can set the transparency from the settings.
