To Show and Hide Objects and Models (Mobile)

You can show or hide objects, models, and model lines.

It is sometimes useful to hide models of one discipline and show models of another. For example, you can hide architectural models but display MEP models. You can then control the visibility of the model's dependant objects. For example, you can hide duct pipes in the MEP model to see objects beneath them clearly. Dependant (or child objects) are listed beneath the parent model in the Models panel.

Hide an Object

1. In the model, tap the object.
2. From the Action menu, tap Hide .
Note: The icon is dimmed to indicate the associated object is hidden . Tap again to show the object.

Show a Hidden Object

1. Tap Models .
2. In the Models panel, navigate to the hidden object and tap Restore .
Note: Tapping an object name will select it in the model, making it semitransparent zooms you to it.

Hide Parent and Child Objects

When working with objects, you can use the Properties panel to skip between parent and child objects in the model. For example, you can tap a door in the model and open the Properties panel. Then use the angle brackets to move up to the parent object (all the doors in that level of the model), then hide them.

1. In the model, tap an object.
2. From the Action menu, tap Properties
3. In the Properties panel, tap the angle bracket to the left of the selected object.

   The parent object is displayed at the top of the Properties window, with the child objects listed beneath.

4. In the Properties panel, tap the parent and child objects to hide and tap Hide .
Note: Tap the angle bracket to the right of the parent object to return to the original child object.

Parent and child objects are also visible in the structure of the Properties panel, displaying details of each element within each object.
