Anyone have a way to hide only one wall in a view for plotting.
I have an elevation view where I'd like to show the studs, which I've inserted as extruded components "created in place". I don't want all the other walls to disappear, so I don't want to set the visibility to hide all walls. I only want to hide the wall the shows the particular stud spacing.
Problem is that I created some braces for a second floor deck by editing a wall to get a 45 degree brace, now when I hide walls the braces also disappear. I'd like to show the relationship between the bracing and the studs.
thank you

If you are using 9, create a filter to only select the walls you wish to turn off. Just give them a comment or something that enables you do distinguish them apart from the other walls.

Thank you Mr. Spot.
Yes I've upgraded to version 9
I've looked into the filter concept, but I'm only seeing options for overriding line types.
I looked in the help menu, but didn't see a way to select a "comment" about the wall.
In "identity data" of the "element properties" box a typed a comment, as you suggested and I'm not sure how to get to that comment while creating a filter.
If you wouldn't mind elaborating I'm sure it would be most helpful.
Thank you
Randy

another way to hide just one wall/ object from printing is to use worksets. make a set called no plot and put any objects in it that you want. then turn off the work set in the visibility settings. If you haven't used work sets or don't want to set them up I guess that you could use design options put the wall in one of the options and not in the other. then in view properties make sure the right option is selected "the one with out the wall". these re the two ways That I can think of besides using a filter. but a filter migh tbe the easiest way once you get the hang of them.

Go to your visibility settings for that view
Click on the filter tab.
Click Filters down the bottom.
Click New.
Name it accordingly
Select which element categories you'd like it to filter through... In your case walls
Select filter by... (select what you want, in your case comments)
Then select the way you want to filter it (contains, equals etc)
Then type what it has to equal.
Now insert this filter into the view.
Now all elements matching this criteria can be manipulated independently, either by turning them off, giving them a different line style (for example fire rated walls or structural walls...)
HTH.
