Default hiding zones in 3D

[Sverre]

I have an Architect model with zones. Can I choose to hide zones in 3D by default when opening my SMC? I want the zones to be present but not visible initially, as the first thing I do is hide them cause they are gross area zones that goes outside the fasade.

To hide components in Solibri, you can set their transparency to 100%. Here are a few effective methods, depending on your needs:

Use the Paint Tool
You can add components to the Selection Basket in the Model Tree and apply 100% transparency using the Paint Tool. These settings are saved in the smc file. However, if the IFC model is updated with new zones or components, you’ll need to reapply the transparency to those new elements.

Apply a Color Map with Transparency
A more dynamic option is to use a color map to set specific components to be fully transparent. This approach is useful if your model is regularly updated, as the color map can automatically apply transparency based on defined criteria.

Use Classification-Based Transparency
You can create a classification to group the relevant components (e.g., closed zones) and set their color to 100% transparent under the “Default Classification Names” list. To apply this visually, make sure to check the “Use for model colors” option in the classification settings.
