@ArtOfSoulburn (ArtOfSoulburn) posted a new topic, subject "Can't unselect object on hidden layer". It read:

   Try this…
    
      1. Create a sphere
      2. Place the sphere on a new layer
      3. Hide the layer, the sphere becomes automatically unselected
      4. type in the maxscript listener…
    
    
    
    select $sphere01
    
    the sphere is now selected, even though the layer is hidden  
    5) Type…
    
    max select none
    
    The sphere is not deselected. Is there another way to select nothing that works with hidden objects?
