Toggle Hide Bones in 3ds Max

For some reason, in 3ds Max 2009 (and previous versions) there wasn’t a keyboard shortcut to hide bones as a group in a scene.

There are shortcuts for most other category toggles so I made a simple script to do the same thing for bones.

Here is the script:

if hideByCategory.bones == true then
(
hideByCategory.bones = false
)
else
(
hideByCategory.bones = true
)

I’ve set the script to work as a keyboard shortcut (shift + b) in my max workflow, I’ll show you how to do it too in another post.
