Displaying Hidden Objects

This task explains how to display objects transferred to the No Show area.
  1. Display the same geometry as in the preceding example.

    In our example, a line which was originally displayed is now in the No Show area.
  2. Click Swap visible space in the View toolbar to display the contents of the No Show area.

    In our example, you now see only the line.

    The geometry area changes color to indicate you are now viewing the No Show space.

  3. Click Swap visible space again to return to the Show space.

You can continue working on objects in the No Show space. You can also select objects and transfer them back to the Show space by clicking Hide/Show or by right-clicking then selecting Hide/Show.

When selecting multiple elements, all the selected elements are processed in one step and as a whole. There is no individual process, whatever the original space of each selected element. This means that all the selected elements are in the same final state:

  • if all the selected elements are in the Show space, clicking Hide/Show transfers them all to the No Show space
  • if all the selected elements are in the No Show space, clicking Hide/Show transfers them all to the Show space
  • if the multi-selection is heterogeneous, clicking Hide/Show transfers the selected elements either to the Show space, or to the No Show space ; the result is unpredictable.
