Controlling 3d visibility within the family editor

[craighowie]

Hi there.

I am wanting to switch off the 3d visibility of a family within the family. By default the 3d representation is always on, see attached screenshot. Is there any way that the 3d visibility can be controlled from within the family editor?
I know that within the project I can go to Visibility Graphics and switch off that specific family in each 3d view, but would prefer to be able to do it just once form the family editor.

Thanks,
Craig

Nope, you cannot do it that way. However, you can assign the visibility of the 3D elements within the family to a "Type" visibility parameter. Then in your ptroject, editing this once will turn it off in ALL views, including the 3D Views.

Okay, thanks Scott.
