If you select the name of a hidden object in the Object Manager, the object’s axis system appears in the viewport. You can still position, scale and rotate the hidden object using its axis system and the Move, Scale and Rotate tools.
Preset Management
Presets
Here you will find a list of the Viewport presets saved. These presets can be created using the Save Preset function, in the Filter tab of the view’s Configure menu or in the Viewport Renderer’s Filter menu.
Here you can save a Viewport variation. These presets are saved under Presets/User/Viewport Presets where they can also be managed.

Left disabled, right enabled Geometry Only option.
This is a very useful function to hide all axes, handles and guides and only show the geometry. This function is primarily designed for use with the Viewport renderer, which also offers this option.
See previous Geometry Only description, only that this option works when an animation is played back, the Timeslider is moved or if you click+J+drag in the Viewport. Only the geometry will be shown when the animation is played back.
Individual Commands/Options
Each of these commands in principle activate the commands in the Viewport preference’s Filter menu.
With the introduction of Cinema 4D S22, the filter menu can be detached from the main menu and contains commands, which offer additional advantages such as arranging in palettes, keyboard shortcuts, etc. Note that simultaneously pressing the Ctrl/Cmd key when clicking on an option will enable only this option and disable all others.
