I have not come across an answer in any of the forums I have been too, so I thought I would just ask.  Most likely this is not doable, but I would like some confirmation to that fact from any of you who may know.

I use Revit Structure and reference in either 2D cad files or Revit models from architects as backgrounds.  In either case I appreciate the ability to pin them once placed so I do not move them however I am missing some old autocad features that went along with locking a "layer" or an entity. 

Is there something I am missing?  Can you in fact make an element within revit be visible but not selectable?

Thanks!

Why are pinned elements selectable?

so you can unpin them?

 but i dont think that you can make it unselectable.

Kind regards,
