Using "Hide Element" command while in "Temporary View Properties" mode should not affect the view template once the view properties are reset.
When I am in "Temporary View Properties" mode (Purple border mode), I should be able to use the 'Hide Element' command without affecting the view template after "Temporary View Properties" is turned off.
It sounds like you are talking about the Element Hide command which can be found on the right-click menu under "Hide In View". This is a permanent (though reversible) action to hide the element selected in that view ONLY (not in parent or overlapping dependent views). It doesn't affect the view template, it affects the view.
If you want to hide something temporarily, you might want to try the Hide Element command which can be found at the bottom of your view as a pair of glasses, see below:
This will put a cyan border around your view much like the purple Temporary View Properties (though if you also have Temporary View Properties enabled the border will remain/change to Purple as an overriding feature, you can still see you have Temporary Hide/Isolate on in the top left next to Temporary View Properties).
As you can see in the screenshot, you have more than just hiding a selection of elements, and you can reset the view from the glasses as well.
Right, that's all well and good. I apologize that my request isn't completely accurate. In this case, setting "temporary view properties" mode on, then doing the "hide element" command should not affect the visibility state instance for that view after the "temporary view properties" are turned off. If you look at how the "temporary view properties" are stated to work ( https://help.autodesk.com/view/RVTLT/2023/ENU/?guid=GUID-C70CAB27-1DBF-4A54-87CA-953DDB223727 ) :
When a template is applied in this mode, visibility and graphic controls can still be individually adjusted. A purple border is applied to the view window to indicate that the temporary view properties mode is active.
Turn off the temporary view properties when no longer needed and the visibility and graphic settings from the assigned template are restored.
When you make an "individual adjustment" (hiding an element, for example), this is not restored when you turn off "temporary view properties". It seems like it would be more intuitive if there were fewer exceptions.
I understand how to use temporary hide command and I use that quite frequently. I'm in the situation where I'm helping someone with their project but in order to get around bugs in their templates and worksets I want to be able to use both functions while also not making my 'Hide Element' permanent in my view (I try to avoid using the 'hide element' command on my functional working views).
And no, I don't want to teach my colleague how to run their project correctly 🙂 I would rather get the work done and mind my own projects. I was able to find another way to do what I want, but this is a feature request, not a troubleshooting request.
