Displaying/Hiding Elements on Locations

You can use the View Filter to display or hide selected element types on all or selected building locations. This applies to building elements such as walls and doors, as well as landscaping elements that were inserted using the “Insert on Location” option.

To display or hide building elements:

1. Select View > View Filter or click the View Filter button on the Basic View Control or Advanced View Control toolbar.

2. In the View Filter dialog, select the Elements on Location tab.

3. In the Sort By area, make sure the Element radio button is selected.

4. If you want to change the visibility of an element on all locations, click the element’s eye icon in the Display column. If you want to filter an element on a specific location, click the element’s plus sign (+) to display a list of building locations. Then, click the location’s eye icon in the Display column.

5. You can also filter elements by location. If you enable the Location radio button in the Sort By area, a list of building locations is displayed. You can then expand the location you want to filter elements on to display a list of elements. Toggling the eye icons of elements in this list filters elements on the selected location.

6. If you want to make all elements on all locations visible, click the Display All button. If you want to make all elements on all locations non-visible, click Display None.

7. Once you’ve selected what you want to filter, click OK.
