Thanks for your reply!
To solve the problem it is a matter of one line! in Archicad´s programming code:
IF NOT SELECTED -> SHOW
as an alternative to the line now bringing us the mess to have to deselect from:
IF SELECTED -> SHOW
Just one line!
Hopefully there are some Archicad programmer trying to fix the missing line!
Hopefully there are a lot of users demanding this!
So let us demand this simple line in Archicad:
IF NOT SELECTED -> SHOW

As a rule I prefer not to use the hide function in Revit as it is much harder to track and control than using filters and such.
As I can understand both of you have used Archicad for a long time.
Perhaps - your feelings are: "It is my program" and you have to defend it.
But to defend something you have to make a retreat - understanding that the sun also has its shadows - to improve the program. It is about to listen to other users of the program.
As a user you have to trust the programmers. Hopefully some programmer listens to our discussion - one line of code - needed.
Hopefully I am not alone demanding that line of code to make Archicad so much better!

Archicad 16:
Right click and show selection in 3D
Archicad 17 will give us the alternatives?
Right click - show selection in 3D
and
Right click - don´t show selection in 3D
Just so simple. I believe I am not alone wanting the alternatives.

Now you have to select - marquee what you want to see in the 3D window.
I want to do the opposite - I want to select the objects I want to hide.
Is it possible to do that? Some hidden command to do that?
