I'm using REVIT 8, and I need to know how to hide/isolate an item(s) in a view and have that invisibility remain during printing. I understand that version 2008 might have a right-click command of "hide in view", but nothing like that in Version 8? I went through my project and used the sunglasses to hide objects and categories in different views, but when I went to print the project, i was hosed. My bad, for sure, but how do I make the temporarily hidden objects remain hidden when I print? Help? Thanks.

I think that in Revit 8 you can only hide the category and not individual elements - we're almost up to Revit 2010 (4 versions later) so you're losing out on a lot of the features that Revit now offers.

i am having this exact problem right now in Revit 2009. Basically, in the section view, I have a whole bunch of things hidden (i.e., people and cars) But when i put the section view on a sheet layout, and i print that sheet layout, those hidden things appear! in addition, I edited the level lines in teh section view but when i print it, it goes back to the old way the level lines were. im attaching 2 images for u guys to see the problem, one has the section as it appears on my screen, which is how i want it to print and the other is how it actually prints (prints incorrectly) thanks! rebecca

Those object in the back of the image are "Masses"??? If so, did you try in VG uncheck the visibility???

VG= Visibility/Graphic, so if those objects are from Rhino so in VG/Imported Categories turn off those "Layers"... About the mass, export the mass in SAT File (ACIS Solid) not in MESH, then when you import to Revit you can apply Walls, roof, Floor by face and surtains systems in that ACIS solids...

but i like the idea of what u r suggesting to me, because some of the buildings are kind of compilicated (i.e. the one of the fancy historic church, st. vibianas, in upper right) and it would be smarter to simply import the bldgs from rhino and then add walls or floors so taht we dont see the jagged blue lines which r ugly and annoying
