Show, Hide, and Isolate Objects

Turn the display of objects on and off in the modeling window.

Show, Hide, and Isolate Using Context Menus

Display control options are available in most context menus. In general, if there is an active selection then the action only affects the selected objects. If there is no selection then the action affects the entire model.

In addition to the right-click context menu, you can also choose a display option from the View menu.

Show and Hide Using Browser Icons

Left-click on an object's icon in the Model Browser to switch between showing or hiding the object. When an object is hidden, it appears grayed out in the browser.
