HIDE
Regenerates a 3D wireframe model with hidden lines suppressed.
Access Methods
Menu: View  Hide
Summary
When you use
VPOINT (page 1114), DVIEW (page 385), or VIEW (page 1104) to
create a 3D view of your 2D drawing, a wireframe is displayed in the current
viewport. All lines are present, including those hidden by other objects. HIDE
eliminates the hidden lines from the screen.
HIDE considers the following to be opaque surfaces that hide objects: circles,
solids, traces, text, regions, wide polyline segments, 3D faces, polygon meshes,
and the extruded edges of objects with nonzero thickness.
If they are extruded, circles, solids, traces, and wide polyline segments are
treated as solid objects with top and bottom faces. You cannot use HIDE on
objects whose layers have been frozen; however, you can use HIDE on objects
whose layers have been turned off.
To hide text created with MTEXT or TEXT, the
HIDETEXT (page 1318) system
variable must be set to 1 or the text must be assigned a thickness value.
When using the HIDE command, if the INTERSECTIONDISPLAY (page 1342)
system variable is on, face-to-face intersections of 3D surfaces are displayed
as polylines.
The 3D Hidden visual style does not honor the setting of
INTERSECTIONDISPLAY.
