AftabRad Revit Add-in: Simplification by Hiding Revit Elements

To achieve acceptable results within an acceptable time, Radiance, like any other energy simulation software, needs an acceptable range of complexity. As a general rule in this add-in, those elements will only be exported that are visible in the current 3D view. Therefore, all those different methods that can hide elements in the current view works as a simplification method in this add-in. In addition to using the SectionBox, there are some other ways to hide elements for the Current view in Revit. Some of the most common ways of doing that are mentioned in the below:

1. With the help of the Temporary Isolating, or Temporary Hiding the selected elements or categories in the current view

2. Using the Visibility/Graphic Overrides for 3D View to hide or show elements based on their categories

3. Using the Hide in View to hide or show elements based on the selected Elements or Categories, or even By Filter

4. Using the Design Options to hide or show elements based on the selected options
