Description: Palette that turns off any symbols that are visible but not selected. There is also a button that will turn these objects back on.

Instructions: Put this script in the "scripts" folder. It builds a palette that will allow user to toggle symbols off and on. These objects must be turned back on before quitting, otherwise the objects will remain off and need to be manually turned back on in the future.

As an added feature, if the user wants to turn all symbols on, there is a third button that will turn on all symbols. This was added in case the user toggled off symbols and forgot to turn them back on before saving and quitting the formZ file.

To find the shortcut for this palette, look here: Project > Modeling > Palettes > Extensions >
