Hello All,
I'd like to hide some elements in attached files which is not in same level, the only way I know is to add them into an item sets and then set display off on this item sets.(Please let me know if any other way.)
It works fine with display styles which render mode is Wireframe or Shaded.
But it doesn't work with display styles which render mode is Visible Edges or Filled Visible Edges.
Is it a bug? Or how can I fix it? We need the display style Hidden Line(Visible Edges). Thanks a lot.
An alternative ... to itemsets
if these objects ( before item sets) are on a specific level of there own and only these objects then you can use level manager even if its ref attached, to turn off display and you can put freeze on so cant be turned on in level display by accident when its being used as a xref...no need to use item sets .. just create specific level , move all to that level and turn it off...

Hi Changsong,

I disagree that it's the only way. More standard way (because feature of DGN V8 format) is to group elements into Named Group, whereas Item Sets are functionality built on top of Named Group (and targeted to something different).
Alternatively, QuickSets can be used when working with Display Sets.

What exactly does not work? It's not clear from your screen capture, because no explanation what is expected and what is reality is missing.
Can you provide some example (even simple one)?

I tried to set Visible Edges when Display Set is active and it seems it works fine in V8i SS10, but I guess your data is far more complex.
With regards,

Another alternative to explore is using Named Groups and Display Sets
Open the View Attributes dialog and turn on Displayset and choose your required Display Style
Open the Named Groups dialog, select all the named Groups you do not wish to see in the view ( You could create a new named Group of all elements but those required ) and select the Set Display from selected named group.
Hello Carl,
I have tested so, I have to select all elements which need to show and then set displayset, if the model updated, I have to update the named groups again. It is not convenient. But there is no other ways for the moment. And I learned something new, Thanks a lot.
Hello Lorys,
These elements are not on a specific level, cannot hide the level. Thanks.
