Show hidden elements selectivly

Hi!


I have hidden some elements here, but I would now like to show them again:

is there a way to show all hidden elements?
I can show all, but I do not want to show all, because then I have to turn off again what I don´t need.

I know a better way is to organise in the right layers and turn off the layer.

Right click in the 3D window with nothing selected and 'Show All' will literally show everything again in 3D.

But if you got to the 3D window from a selection in plan (Show selection in 3D), then return to the plan and 'Show selection in 3D' again.

You can group elements to quickly select certain elements and then show only them in 3D.

 

But as you pointed out, being able to filter with layers is generally much quicker, especially if you use the Quick Layer palette and/or layer combinations.
