Is there a way of visualising only block inserts?

Maybe a silly question, but is there a way to visualize only block inserts? Like layers but freezing other object types?

Nothing to do with block inserts but also usable for your goal, Command: ISOLATEOBJECTS or HIDEOBJECTS

read all about the commands, settings and variable in your help [F1]

Thanks for the reply, I did not know that command existed!

 

Unfortunately there are 100s of objects I'd need to isolate...  :cara_de_decepción:

 

But thanks anyway.

And what is the difference between 30 and 3000 ?

Selectsimilar(selectsimilarmode)

QSelect

Filter

SSX  ENTITY INSERT 

(sssetfirst nil (ssget "_X" (list'(0 . "INSERT")(cons 410 (getvar 'CTAB)))))

Oh, about 2970 I'd say.

 

I need the selection without using AutoLISP etc., it is not for me.

As far as I can tell that command does not allow me to, for example, only select lines or circles or block inserts. :cara_de_decepción:

SELECTSIMILAR has a setting. 

 

Command: SELECTSIMILAR
Select objects or [SEttings]: ...

 

If you turn off all the options, it will filter objects just by object type (= all blocks if you pick one).

The setting is stored in SELECTSIMILARMODE.

0 is for no properties (as you want now), 255 for all properties (default).

Magic, thanks for that. :cara_con_una_leve_sonrisa:

 

(It would have been clearer if they'd had an entitytype check box though...)

Your selection = the check box.

 

There is also QSelect for targeting a selection.

 

There are several ways to select what you want so that you can apply the isolate object command.

Drafting is a breeze and Revit doesn't always work the way you think it should.

This option would be definitely useful. We could have select across entity types easily (EQ all objects in the layer).
