Can't Hide Doors in 3D

Doors are still showing in 3D window even when the model view option is set to "show opening only". Is there a setting I'm missing?

HI,

I have tried, and i see that MVO only affects plan view.

To achieve your desired 3D view, you can temporarily disable 3D detail level for all doors, by selecting all of them, going to model attributes and turning it off.

I understand it is not as easy as doing it via MVO but I don't know if that is possible.

If you are using AC28, that setting is no longer available. It is supposely now in your MVO but I am not sure where, and being MVO, you would not be able to control it individually...

@MPHz24 has not said what version of Archicad they are using - this would help.

The MVO setting they refer to is only for the plan view.

In 28 there is no option to turn off the 3D in MVO that I can see (can only be simplistic at lowest level of detail), and the objects themselves no longer have the option to turn off the 3D model.

Graphisoft's solution is to use layers to hide, which is fine for objects, but doesn't work with doors and windows that belong to the wall layer.

In earlier versions, the objects have an "Off" 3D level of detail as CosminF showed.

You can hide it in Filter and Cut Elements in 3D Dialog Box

Good point.

And those filter settings are saved in the views.

But it is all or nothing, not object by object.

Try this workflow for turn off te door and the window:

Create a new design option and assign the door/window to this option

Now with different set option, can turn off the door/window

This is a good idea. The problem is that it only works in 3D views. Unfortunately, in the case of facades, sections and wall views, it is not possible to turn off the display of windows and doors in the views.

So this is only a half solution. 😟

Hi @Gabor Szelei,

Kindly, I like to know why you need to hide W/D in wall views & sections.

Thank you in advance.

Dear Mahmoud Qenawi

For example, if I want to depict wall views where there are no windows or doors in the drawing.
Or if I want to make a masonry plan or a a structural plan and I don't want the windows or doors to be visible.

Thank you so much for your answer, I appreciate it.

Of course, you can hide D/W in facades & sections using Reno. Filters or Design options with the optional help of Selections, as follows.

_By Reno. Filter:

1) Create a new renovation filter & assign those D/W to be only shown in it.

2) Activate (Show all elements) Reno. filter in your facade or section view.

3) If you like to hide many and distributed D/W you can save them to a new selection for an easy recall.

** Note: It's recommended to perform the a/m steps in floor plan or 3d view, as when I tried them in facade view I had a strange result (seems to be a bug).

*** Here're some illustrating screenshots.

4) To retrieve the normal case only select those D/W and deactivate (Show on current reno. filter only) option.

_Hope that helps.

Dear Mahmoud Qenawi!
I'm afraid you haven't fully understood the essence of the problem.
The problem with this solution is that, the entire door/window disappears along with the wall opening. However, in a masonry plan, the location of the window/door should be visible.
Thank you for trying to help, but this is not a solution to the problem.

Dear @Gabor Szelei,

back to you with another solution & I hope this time it can help.

There’s an ability to show the opening boundary in facade by assigning the wall’s Reno. status to (to be demolished) & activate the option for hiding Doors/Windows.

*#* If the wall’s Reno. status is already adjusted to (existing or new element) you can duplicate that wall/s to a new design option that will keep everything normal in the main model.
