Unhide elements in linked file

Hello all,

 

In the link rvt file I hid many elements ( tab on the element > right click > hide element), now I would like to unhide them. When I 'reveal hidden elements', it is a mess, so it is difficult to find which element I hid before in order to unhide it. Is there any way to unhide all the elements at once?

 

Thank you in advance!

mmmh, seems like after a point you would like to revert to the original state of being able to see all of them that you have hid. I can think of two ways, one the conventional way and the other a rather complicated one but gives you through control over it.

In my opinion, I have never really had issues with reveal hidden elements and unhide objects, this I guess needs a little useto...

 

1st method use temp hide elements so you can quickly reset to the original state.

2nd method is to select the element and find what its ID is (Manage Tab>Inquiry>white barcode icon) note it down and also notedown what that element is like door or wall or whatever, then hide it and when you want to recall it in the view to be visible then just select the element by ID (Manage Tab>Inquiry>green barcode icon) and unhide it.

 

Hope this is something you where looking for.

Cheers, K

Hi, @mairh_tsek , I've seen that you referred to a post, but not sure if you found which one is the best way for you.

 

In my opinion, if you are working on a medium/large project, with linked files and many elements and categories, the best way to unhide all elements is the "new view" approach as mentioned by the post. The new view creation and the view template saved from your hidden elements view procedure is great for complex projects and works for all hidden "elements" back in the original view. The benefits here are that you don't have to see a lot of elements that you want to keep hidden, like the ones which you've deliberated turned their visibility off, including linked files, and saves you time from commanding Revit to create you this "show all" view. Using the "orient to view" procedure you have another great advantage, as I see it, and is that when you orient your new view to your old one, Revit even copies the section box of your old view if it's turned on. However, if you've used the hide command for any "categories" you'd then have to turn their visibility back on using the visibility/graphics override window.

 

On the other hand If your model is simpler the Reveal Hidden Elements procedure won't produce the issue you've mentioned of creating a very polluted view and also take much CPU/GPU processing time. 

 

Hope this helps.

@indiana_j0nes  ,

 

Thank you for your answer, I dont think that I can 'hide temporary' elements in a linked file.

 

@Anonymous  ,

Yes the project is large so with the Reveal Hidden Elements option I cannot easily find the elements that I hid. Creating a new view is the best way for me as I want to unhide all the elements that I hid before.

 

I cannot understand very well the following :

'Using the "orient to view" procedure you have another great advantage, as I see it, and is that when you orient your new view to your old one, Revit even copies the section box of your old view if it's turned on. However, if you've used the hide command for any "categories" you'd then have to turn their visibility back on using the visibility/graphics override window. '

 Thank you in advance!

The last statement (category hide) is not related to the one about the "orient to view", but to the unhide procedure. I've tried to make clear about the different results if you've used hide element vs. hide category commands. Creating a new view will only unhide elements, but not categories, even though you've hidden the categories using the same hide command button from the modify pannel or the hide in view from the contextual flyout menu. Sorry for that confusion.
