Hide Layers in CAD Files

When you hide layers in an imported file or a linked file, the layers are still available to the Revit project, but they do not display in views.

You can specify how to hide layers in each view. For example, you can display all layers in one view, but hide some layers in another view. You can redisplay the layers later, if needed. If you are not sure on which layer an object resides, you can query objects in layers.

1. Open a project view in Revit.
2. Click View tabGraphics panel (Visibility/Graphics).
3. Click the Imported Categories tab.
4. In the Visibility column, click to expand the DWG file name of the linked or imported file.

   Revit lists the layers in the file.

5. Clear the check boxes for any layers that you want to hide in the current view.
6. Click OK.

The layers are hidden in the current view only. To redisplay hidden layers, repeat this process and select the desired layers.
