Apologies for the amount of posts being posted about this, but I can’t seem to find one with a straight forward answer…

I’m not that experienced at Python, so alas, I cannot alter the stuff posted in others to suit my own. I have a list of true and falses to indicate the value of the visibility, I need to use them to set the visibility in a view dictated by me.

I’ve seen a few python scripts around, i’ve also seen Konrads [thinkparametric.com](http://thinkparametric.com) link to his files, but the files will not work for me.

I think the closest python script so the one I require is this:

If anyone could help out, or point me in the direction of something I may have missed, i’d really appreciate it.

Hey,

That Python works only for a single Visibility… You need a zip…

Hope that helps,

Hello, same problem here. Your solution work fine but for one view at a time.  
Is there a way to adapt the script so it could handle multiple views ?

I have just one filter per view but each view have a different filter.  
I’d like to turn off the visibility for all filters

I’m learning python but I’m still struggling at the moment…
