Hide category in 1 view

I have  small model in which some of the generic families contain structural connections. I need to show the families complete with the connections in one view but also need to show the same family without the connections in another view.

Make the structural connections as a shared nested family (ie: edit the generic model >> edit the structural connection family >> check the shared box >> load back into the generic >> load back into the project

In the view where u do not need the connection >> go to visibility graphics and switch off its category

Associate all the connections to a Visibility Parameter (YES/NO Parameter). Now you can turn them OFF by unchecking the Visibility Parameter checkbox.

And/or, look into Visibility Settings of the connections. That's a way to control connection visibility based on View and View Detail Level .

Several ways:

-  Set the connection components to only visible in Fine detail level and set the views you don't want to see the connections to Coarse or Medium

- Add a subcategory and assign the connections to that category, turn off the subcategory via VG for the views you don't want to see them

*Do not create a Visibility checkbox to turn off the connections.  That will turn them off globally, not per views.
