Hide Objects
Autodesk Navisworks provides tools that can be used to hide and display objects or groups of objects. Hidden
objects are not drawn in the Scene View.
Hide Selected Objects
You can hide the objects in the current selection so that they are not drawn in the Scene View. This is useful
when you want to remove specific parts of the model. For example, when you walk down the corridor of building,
you may want to hide a wall that occlude your view of the next room.
Hide Unselected Objects
You can hide all items except those currently selected so that they are not drawn in the Scene View. This is useful
when you only want to see specific parts of the model.
NOTE In the Selection Tree, the items appear gray when marked as hidden.
To hide selected objects
1 In the Scene View, select all items you want to hide.
2 Click Home tab ➤ Visibility panel ➤ Hide
.
The selected objects are now invisible.
