Hide elements from Map but not 3D View Hi, I encounter this problem constantly, so I am hoping there is a simple solution. I often have very large elements ("furniture") that are cover a majority of a room and often they are on the ceiling or otherwise above most other furniture (for example, currently I'm working on a retail space that has a large HVAC duct going across the entire length of the room, as well as wooden beams/slats every 1 ft on the wooden ceiling) These elements, when visible cover the room, so I can't select or work on any furniture below in the 2D map. I can of course hide them, but then they are also hidden in the 3D view, which then looks incorrect. Furthermore there are often multiple such elements and then I have to group them together so I can hide and show them with one click, which makes the group even larger, and harder to handle. So: Is there a way to hide elements from the 2D plan but not the 3D virtual visitor view? One thing I have tried is to create another level at the same elevation and move the elements to that level. That way I can quickly hide and show all of them without grouping them. HOWEVER: Sometimes that works just fine, and sometimes that completely messes with the room. For example, it now does not show the ceiling at all in the 3D view and is open to the sky. SO: What is the proper way to deal with ceiling elements and other "furinture" that gets in the way of working with the map in 2D, while still keeping the 3D view intact? |
