Renovation filter - hiding "demolished" text and dimentions

CIA20 — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 21:47:05 GMT

I would like to hide "demolished" text and dimentions as it is possible with demolished objects, zones, etc. Is there such possibility without layer combinations ? Thank you.

CIA20:

Dimensions and Text have a renovation status, just set it to To Be Demolished for these elements.

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.

Hi Davin,

In the screenshot above, the text element is set to Demolished (shown in yellow). I want it not to appear in my Construction/Renovation filter, but I also don’t want to delete it or hide it through layer combinations.

Basically, I’d like this text to disappear in the same way demolished furniture or objects can be hidden automatically by the renovation filter.

Is there a way to achieve this with text elements?

Thanks in advance

CIA20:

You could pin it to a specific Renovation Filter, and it will only show when that Filter is active. You might have to create a new Renovation Filter for this if you don't want it to appear with any of the others.

Hi,

Another solution that comes to mind to achieve what you want is to replace those dimensions and text with objects.

For dimensions, search for "Floating" in the object tool.

The text can simply be saved as an object.
