Make Selected Objects Invisible

Use the View menu > Make Selected Objects Invisible command to remove selected objects from the active display window.

  1. Select the objects to be removed from the active display window.

  2. Click the View menu > Make Selected Objects Invisible command and the selected objects will no longer be included in the active display window, although the objects remain in the model. This command can be helpful when working on a complex model with many types of objects concentrated in the same area.

Use the View menu > Restore Visibility of Previous Selection command to redisplay the selected objects.

Note:  Right clicking anywhere in an active window will display a drop-down menu of commands, including the Hide Selected Objects command. Clicking that command is the same as using the View menu > Make Selected Objects Invisible command.  Thus, select objects before right clicking and selecting the Hide Selected Objects command from the resulting drop-down menu.
