But isolating an object (hiding the object) will hide the object from every viewport in the drawing. Even from the model space. I need to hide an object within a specific viewport only (or in model space) without turning off the entire layer for that object and unhide it anytime I want without affecting other hidden objects.</P> Tue, 30 Mar 2021 13:51:39 GMT Reza-WE 2021-03-30T13:51:39Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/civil-3d-forum/how-to-freeze-an-object-not-the-entire-layer/m-p/10198940#M75890 <P>I wish civil 3D had an option to freeze an object in model or viewport. I know how to freeze a layer or multiple layers, but sometime I need to freeze only one object within a layer. I don't want to create a whole new layer for one object only and then freeze it.

A layer set to a color that has 0% Screening. Not a layer set to no-plot. Then either establish layers for the wipeouts that you can turn on and off or use display order to move them above or below the object.</P> Tue, 30 Mar 2021 15:41:57 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/civil-3d-forum/how-to-freeze-an-object-not-the-entire-layer/m-p/10199370#M75897 AllenJessup 2021-03-30T15:41:57Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/civil-3d-forum/how-to-freeze-an-object-not-the-entire-layer/m-p/12125137#M75898 <P>How the in the **** fires of hell is there not an option to freeze an object?
