Learn/Editor/Edit the model

Hide, show, or delete objects

Clear the view temporarily or remove selected items from the model.

Hide and show

Select the items you want to hide.
Use the visibility control at the bottom of the right panel.
Use the project explorer’s eye controls to show hidden items again.

Hidden geometry remains in the project. Hiding is a display change; it does not remove materials from the model.

Delete a selection

Choose the appropriate selection mode and select the items.
Check the highlighted scope.
Use the delete control at the bottom of the right panel, or press Delete or Backspace.

Note

Deleting at Bay or Scaffold scope affects that whole scope. Use Undo if the result is not what you intended.
