Being able to hide or isolate parts of your model makes the modeling process much easier. Learn how to work with these features in this video.
- [Instructor] While you're working in a 3D environment…particularly if you're working in a congested area…it can be difficult to get a clear view point on the area…that you're working in.…If you run into this situation then you probably will…we have a tool that allows us to select components…and either hide them…or isolate them to give us a clear working area.…So let's open our drawing 0602 Piping.…And I'm going to zoom into this model here…and I'm going to show you there is…two different commands we have for isolating and hiding.…
So to be aware there is an AutoCAD command…and there is also a command in Plant 3D.…If you isolate using the Plant 3D you have to unhide…using the Plant 3D command and if you use the AutoCAD one…then you have to end the isolation…using the AutoCAD command.…So for example if you want to get rid of this tank here…I'm just going to come, I'm going to select the tank…and I'm going to right click and the two different locations…that we have here, where we have this part hiding in…isolation this is the Plant 3D aspect.…
