How do you hide all objects associated with a certain set-up of an interior? For instance, say I want to work on a particular west wing interior of a Hearthfire house, for instance the armory. How do I go about hiding all the objects from the kitchen and library (the alternate west wing rooms)? I have been going through and pressing 1 to manually hide things in my way...but this takes forever. I would like to just hide all the objects associated with the room that I'm not working on at once. Any way to do this?

Try this..

Hold Left Mouse button. Drag over the areas you wish to not have in your way - this will select all that is inside the box you're dragging, and then press 1,

ALT+1 will bring the hidden objects back.

You can even simply hold CTRL and just click on objects, they will get selected like this as well..

If I'm wanting to work on the armory though, then all the objects in the armory become hidden as well. There has to be a better way to hide these objects in a more organized manner.

I made an edit. The CTRL method might be best in that regard.

That's the same thing as me manually going through and hiding every object, that's what I'm trying to get rid of. I'm wondering if there's a way to hide all the objects associated with a particular instance at once. For instance hide everything associated with the kitchen addition all at one time.

Dont think there is.. the other hide method is CTRL+SHIFT+C but you still need to manually select stuff first.

What a terrible system if that's true....makes it extremely tedious to work on any interior with multiple variations, such as every house in the freaking game.
