Hide a single element by using a key-in

The following tip was inspired by several user posts on the BE Community pages.  With thanks to Brenden Roche, Henk Ligtvoet, Ivo Blaauw, and others I may have overlooked.  Tested on MicroStation V8i SS2.

To hide a single element, put this key-in script on a function key:

choose all;powerselector mode remove;%d;displayset set;choose none;powerselector mode new;choose element;point ab

Note that it requires you to have Displayset turned on for the view which you can enable via the View Attributes dialog.    To re-display the hidden element, choose Displayset Clear from the right-click menu.
