The View Filter provides precise control over what elements and locations are displayed in a view at any given time.

You can display/hide:

Note: Using the View Filter does not delete elements from your drawing. It just hides them from view.

To access the View Filter:

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

The View Filter dialog contains three tabs: Elements on Location, Elements on Terrain, and Notation. The Elements on Location tab lists all elements types that are associated with building locations. If you expand an element, a list of building locations is displayed below the element name. If you choose to sort by location, a list of building locations is displayed with a list of elements under each one. The Elements on Terrain tab lists primarily landscaping elements. The Notation tab contains text, dimensions, project trace images, electrical wiring, and other items.

The icons in the Display column indicate whether or not that location or element is currently displayed. Clicking an icon toggles the icon to the opposite state (on or off).

Location or element is turned on

Location or element is turned off

If sorting by element, this means that the element is displayed on some locations and not on others. If sorting by location, it means that some elements on the location are displayed and some are not.

Clicking Display All turns on all locations and elements on the current tab. Clicking Display None turns off all locations and elements on the current tab.
