How Do You Unhide Something in SketchUp?

Do you find yourself in a situation where something is hidden in your SketchUp project, and you’re not sure how to bring it back into view? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to unhide something in SketchUp using simple steps.

Step 1: Select the Hidden Geometry

If an object or geometry is hidden in your SketchUp model, the first thing you need to do is select it. You can do this by using the Select tool (shortcut: Spacebar) and clicking on the object or dragging a selection box around the hidden geometry.

Pro Tip:

If you’re unsure whether an object is hidden or not, go to the View menu, click on Hidden Geometry, and check if it’s checked. If it’s checked, that means there are hidden elements in your model.

Step 2: Unhide the Selection

Once you have selected the hidden geometry, right-click on it to open the context menu. In the context menu, hover over ‘Unhide’ and select ‘All’ from the submenu. Alternatively, you can use the shortcut key combination of Shift + H to unhide all selected objects at once.

Pro Tip:

If you only want to unhide specific hidden elements instead of all of them, you can right-click on the selected objects and choose ‘Unhide’ from the context menu.

Step 3: Verify Unhidden Objects

To verify if your hidden objects are now visible again, go to the View menu and make sure that ‘Hidden Geometry’ is checked. This will show or hide any remaining hidden elements in your SketchUp project.

Step 4: Save Your Changes

Once you have successfully unhidden the desired objects, it’s always a good practice to save your changes. Use the shortcut key combination of Ctrl + S (Windows) or Command + S (Mac) to save your SketchUp project.

Pro Tip:

If you want to hide specific objects or geometry in your SketchUp project, you can select them and right-click to open the context menu. From there, choose ‘Hide’ to make them invisible. This can be useful when working on complex models with multiple elements.

In Conclusion

Unhiding something in SketchUp is a simple process that can help you regain control over hidden elements in your project. By following the steps outlined in this tutorial, you’ll be able to easily unhide any hidden objects and continue working on your model with confidence.
