How to hide the Text with text type "2.5mm Arial" in the current view using revit api command?

Here is my sample code in python

temp =[]
fec = FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfClass(TextNoteType)#.ToElements()
ElementIDS = fec.ToElementIds()

for i in fec:
    name = i.LookupParameter("Type Name").AsString()
    if name == "2.5mm Arial":
        temp.append(name)

Hi @jadhavabhi309,

To hide elements in Revit, check if the element can be hidden first using  CanBeHidden method

https://www.revitapidocs.com/2015/5e4e0eb6-7328-49b0-d4d0-59729777114d.htm

Then call the HideElements Method to hide the collection of element ids

Are you sure you really want to do this? I would assume that there are view settings that can be used to achieve this with less effort and total end user control.

Thank you for responding .What do you mean by view setting and what are they?

As you can tell from the number of results, this is a rather important and fundamental aspect of using Revit.

I doubt that anyone can use Revit effectively without understanding view settings.

And, as said, it proper use of view settings may enable a much more effective and user-friendly approach to solve your task. Whatever that task may be...
