hiding a road

is there a way to turn off a corridor. i have multiple roads in one job, and need to turn on/off some of them. i have tried getting into the style and turned off the layers under the display tab in plan, and model.

You'll need to have a feature line style that is 'no_display' . Then in the corridor definition you'll need to tell it to use that style for the feature lines generated by the corridor.

 

Similarly you'll probably need a code-set style that is also a 'no_display' . 

 

If you have a surface being generated from the corridor, you'll have to turn that off too...

 

Another option would be to change your object settings so that when you create a corridor it puts it on a layer of it's own (say with the name of the corridor as a suffix). then you can just freeze the layer... I don't think this is best practice...

Alternately you can hide regions by RC or in the corridoer props; clear the check box

There's nothing wrong with the practise of having corridors each on their own layer.  If there's a need to have some on and some off, this would be the easiest method.

 

Unless you're hiding them and it is very temporary.  Right click one of them and select Isolate objects->Isolate selected objects.

 

When you're done, there will be a red light bulb at the very bottom rith of your screen.  Click it to "End object isolation".

This is by far the quickest way if the drawing is XREF'd
