Hide and show objects

Hide or show objects to create variations on your scene. You can use this function in coordination with alternatives to provide different views of your model. See Set up alternatives.

To hide selected objects:

1. Select the objects you want to hide.
2. Choose Select > Hide, or press Ctrl+H.
   Note

   To see which objects are hidden or deleted, select Edit > Organizer.

To show hidden objects:

• To show hidden items, use Select > Un-hide all (Ctrl+Shift+J).
• To show hidden alternatives, press A to go to the alternatives interface.

To display one part:

To isolate one model part or group of objects while hiding other objects in the scene:

1. Select all objects you want to isolate.
2. Choose Select > Isolate Selected to hide the selected objects (or press Ctrl+Shift+L).

   Other objects are hidden, leaving only the originally selected parts visible.

To hide/show groups of objects using the Organizer:

The Organizer lets you place objects into groups (folders) so that you can hide or show them more easily without needing to select them every time. This is useful for keeping objects together in groups as you edit a scene.

To use the Organizer, select Edit > Organizer (or press the O key).

See Use the Organizer.

To hide/show object alternatives:

Alternatives let you compare and contrast variations for parts of your scene. An alternative lineup is a collection of one or more alternatives. For example, your scene could contain a lineup for various hubcap alternatives, another lineup for various color studies, and so on.

• Press A to set up and view alternative lineups.
