Quickly Show and Hide Objects

As a quick alternative to using the View Filter Manager to show and hide such objects as background images, surfaces, and point clouds, you can use the Toggle Visibility command, which does not require the View Filter Manager to be open.

To show and hide objects:

To show and hide background images, surfaces, and point clouds in the graphic views, right-click the object in the Project Explorer or a graphic view and select Toggle Visibility. If the object was already hidden, it is shown. If it was already shown, it is hidden. To show and hide multiple objects, select all of the objects in the Project Explorer or a graphic view and select Toggle Visibility.

Note: When you select to show or hide objects using the Toggle Visibility command, the corresponding check boxes in the View Filter Manager are checked or unchecked.

Showing and hiding layers

In the View Filter Manager, to show/hide:

all layers within a single layer group, right-click a layer within the group, and choose View All or Hide All.
all layers in all layer groups, right-click any layer group, and choose View All or Hide All.
