Do we have any ways or scripts to multiple hide objects?

I've tried to select several objects and try to find some menus to hide them at once but it seems no way to do so. Is there any scripts for this? I need it badly. Thank you!

    With multiple items selected just use the Visible button in the Parameters pane, in the Display group.

    If you need to group items together then you can also us the Create > New Group and just toggling the Group object will hide all the parented items in one go.

    Um, what?

     

    I don't want to group these items, just temporarily hide them, but when I select them in the scene (they are highlighted yellow) then clicking on the eye just turns one of them off.  

     

    I don't understand what "Visible button in the Parameters pane, in the Display group" means.  If it's that eye button then it doesn't work for multiple selected, at least in 4.10 Pro.

    In the Parameters pane, in the Editor tab, there is a button labelled Visible under the Display group. That can be used to affect multiple items at once.

    Yeah, LOL (and I'm laughing at myself) I read the words, but I just don't get it.  I see different upper tabs, like Loading/Creating, Building/Scripting, etc.  When I select one of those I (sometimes) get a further window with other tabs like Scene, Content Library and, yes Parameters (but only under some circumstances).

     

    The only time I see Parameters is when I have selected, in the upper tab, Building/Scripting.  And when I see those parameters it only shows them for one item at a time, even if I have selected multiple items in the Scene tab.  In the dropdown for the one item selected, I can select a different item, but not more than one at a time (like I can in the scene tab).  So what the heck am I doing wrong?

    You cana ccess it through Windows>Panes(Tabs)>Parameters if it isn't open.

    If you have multiple nodes selected then (although only one will be listed at the top of the group list) proerpties that are common to each can be adjusted at one go (assuming the correct options are set in the pane's option menu)

    Ah, now I see (or, rather, don't see).  The idea that I could only "see" one item's parameters was throwing me.  Okay, I'm SLOWLY understanding.  

     

    Thanks a bunch!
