The ProSteel/ProStructures Hide Tools

When working with a small or a large project, sometimes we would like to Hide/Hide Except a Single part or a Group to easily manipulate it. I suggest to make use of these ProSteel tools when using ProSteel/Prostructures.

 

Hide tools

 

Used to hide components or whole groups.

When parts are hidden, they cannot be seen in the view and cannot be selected. These commands permit you to hide only selected components or to show only selected components and to hide all others. This provides a clearer view of the model.

 

Tip: These commands are most practical if individual parts are to be hidden from view. To hide or show entire groups of parts, it is recommended to use display classes.

 

Tool	Description	AutoCAD® command
Hide	Select the parts to be hidden after selecting the command. The parts are no longer visible after pressing the <Enter> key or using the right mouse button. The command Regenerate (not to be confused with the AutoCAD -command “Regenerate”) will switch all parts back to visible.	PS_Hide
Hide Except	This function is working just the other way round than the previous one. After selecting the command, you can choose the parts which you don’t want to hide. After pressing the <Enter> key or using the right mouse button, all other parts are hidden.	PS_Hide_Exclude
Hide Group	This function is working like Hide. The only difference is that the whole group is hidden, if you only selected one part of the group.	PS_Hide_Group
Hide Group Except	This function is working like Hide Exclude. The only difference is that the whole group remains visible, if you only selected one part of the group.	PS_Hide_Group_Exclude
Hide at Plane	This function is working like Hide. The only difference is that the whole component parts of a work plane are hidden, if you only selected one work plane.	PS_Hide_Plane
Hide at Plane Except	This function is working like Hide Exclude. The only difference is that the whole component parts of a work plane remain visible, if you only selected one work plane.	PS_Hide_Exclude_Plane
