    <description>&lt;P&gt;Please let us have control over the visibility of elements in 3D views.&amp;nbsp; Currently the only work around is using sub-categories, but this isn't a viable solution as I don't want users to have to change these settings in the project and add unnecessary extra subcategories.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The main example is door and window families.&amp;nbsp; I want to have 2 overlapping copies of the sash/ door leaf. One copy which stays fixed and displays in plan / elevation / section, and is hidden in 3D. The second copy is visible only in 3D, and is operable for renders / perspective views.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

Would this be a solution?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;a href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/657576"&gt;@Mark_Engwirda&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; Thanks for the suggestions. 2D details would be ok for plan, but for elevation would create some restrictions as there's no model there - for example you couldn't do color elevations easily, have translucent glazing, show hatches, and would need to add extra 2D louvre lines etc. I generally prefer not to use 2D elements if possible in families.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Yes detail settings could be a work around and would be fine for me, but because that's something you need to adjust in the project views and know about how the family works - it's not so user friendly and I would need to explain that quirk to other users which isn't ideal.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
