We were working on a project where the roof is at different elevations. Normally we would set the view range for the whole sheet at the lowest elevation and "hide in view" the elements we did not want to show.  That seemed like a lot of extra work, until we found the Plan Region tool. The Plan Region tool lets u select a region/view that is different from the overall view. (It can be found in the View tab, go to Plan Views and select Plan Region.)  It works like a sketch, so you are not limited to the shape or size of the area.  If you set your view range so that your elements are not showing, then you will no longer have to hide each one separately.  Saves a lot of time!
