2 On the View Control Bar, click (Temporary Hide/Isolate) and then select one of the following:
■ Isolate Category . In other words, if you select some walls and doors, only walls and doors
will remain visible in the view.
■ Hide Category . Hides all selected categories in the view. If you select some walls and doors,
all walls and doors will be hidden in the view.
■ Isolate Element . Isolates only the selected elements.
■ Hide Element . Hides only the selected elements.
When you temporarily hide an element or element category, the Temporary Hide/Isolate icon
displays with a border ( ).
To exit temporary hide/isolate mode without saving changes:
3 On the View Control Bar, click , and then click Reset Temporary Hide/Isolate.
All temporarily hidden elements are restored to the view.
To exit temporary hide/isolate mode and make changes permanent:
4 On the View Control Bar, click , and then click Apply Hide/Isolate to View.
If you make temporarily hidden elements permanent, you can reveal them at a later time, and unhide them
if necessary. For information, see
Revealing and Unhiding Hidden Elements on page 209.
Overriding Individual Lines in an Element
You can use the Linework tool to override the line style of individual element lines. For more information,
see
Changing the Line Style of Elements on page 398.
Overriding Host Layers
Using overrides, you can control the visibility of cut edges in host layers in plan and section views. The hosts
to which you can apply an override are walls, roofs, floors, and ceilings. You can assign line weight, line
color, and line pattern to each of the layer functions: Structure, Substrate, Thermal/Air, Finish 1, and Finish
2. You can also control the line styles for common edges, which occur when a line is common to 2 layers
of differing functions. If both layers are drawn in line styles with the same pen weight, the properties assigned
to common edges are used.
You can also select from the following core layer clean-up options:
■ Default . This is the current behavior.
■ Use Function . Ignores the material settings (the line is never invisible) and sets the style of the separating
line based on the layers' functional priorities. The style of a separating line is determined by the layer
with the higher functional priority.
■ Use Common Edge Style . Ignores the functional priorities and material settings, and always uses the
common edge style.
■ No Edge . Sets the separating line to invisible whenever the layers have the same fill pattern.
The line styles that you assign to the host structure are view-specific; they are visible only in the view in
which you create them. The overrides are applied to the cut edges of all hosts in the view.
