Summary: The ability to control whether a layer is affected by the shade plot setting of a view port via a layer property.

Description: I would like to see viewport specific control of which layers will hide or not. I would like to see this added in the layer manager, similar to how you can currently control the freeze state of layers.

How Used: When you are dealing with a set of objects that are to have the focus (or standout) and other objects that are not to have the focus (in the background), you are currently stuck with the background objects hiding and being hidden by the objects with the focus, unless you put the objects in different viewports, or in different spaces (model/paper). This new feature would solve this problem and still allow all of the objects to be in model space and only use 1 viewport.

Feature Affinity: Layouts
