    Toggle the global display of levels

    Toggle the global display of levels
     
    With many thanks to Gerald Hernandez for pointing this out!

    To toggle the display of a level, use this keyin:

    level set display toggle [level_name]

    You can do this for more than one level, by simply adding additional level names like so:

    level set display toggle [level_name] [level_name] [level_name]

    Note that this keyin is actually toggling the Global Display switch of the level rather than the view display switch. You can see this clearly in the Level Manager. (Thanks Greg!)

    In the clip below, notice the " " embracing level names with spaces.
