CK - Architecture Issues

[dgmul]

In the Creation Kit, I'm trying to build essentially a smaller room within a large room. It is difficult, because I sometimes accidentally select the large room pieces when I'm trying to select the smaller pieces. Or, the render window becomes so cluttered that it's difficult to see exactly what's going on.

 

I find myself wishing that I could temporarily make pieces invisible, or "lock" them so I can't edit them for a little while. That way, I could hide the large outer structure while I'm working on the inner structure, so it doesn't bother me.

 

Is there any advice about dealing with this type of situation?

Pick em in cell object window or render window and hit 1

 

They go unpickable - transparent

Hit 1 a second time they disappear

Hit 1 the third they come back to normal.

leave cell load a different one and then go back they all normal again.

F5 did not affect them for me.

 

FO3 and NV, have not tried SR should be same.

Or instead of reloading the cell press Alt+1 to make all hidden pieces selectable again.

Exactly what I was looking for. Awesome.

 

How do you guys figure this stuff out?
