Cluttered Maps Created 20 years ago2003-09-29 05:55:08 UTC by frenzied__mob

Gday

In the x,y view (top down) is it possible to make only part of the map show, my map is very tall ans skinny and the top view is getting extreamly cluttered, is is possible to configure it to ignore any thing below a certain point.

If you group things together I believe there is an option in either the 'View' dropdown menu or on the top menu bar that will allow you to partially or completely hide objects.
-panda

select the object you want to hide... no need to group them, and go to view... hide selected objects..

a new entry will appear in the vis groups menu you can turn it on or off when you need to

Shift+E will turn the grid off.
D and C will zoom in and zoom out of all the views.
If you hightlight a brush and Ctrl+E the views will center on that brush.
Apart from hiding the vis groups as panda and kol suggest you can try out the "Toggle auto selection" button on the top tool bar.(Blue dotted square with a little black arrow) Left mouse Drag a square around the area you want to hide, click Toggle auto selection and then click in the square. Everything in the square will turn red (highlighted) and you can hide all of it in one go.
