@EK-CEL
All good suggestions worth discussing.
Several thoughts:
Work is well underway for R13 which changes many UI elements. See
http://www.ladybug.tools/spider/gbxml-viewer/dev
There are currently issues with toggling the visibility of items in the current pre-release. Also we just started adding openings as objects. Openings will need a release or two more before they settle down
Once some of those issues settle down, then let's tackle this one. One thing we could do is have a button that sets only exterior surfaces with openings as visible - or whatever works best with your work flow. The goal should be to get whatever needs to be visible for typical workflows - with a single click.

Thank you the response. I think it would be more informative if I would be more specific in describing the requested features. Currently I am using the FZKViewer for my gbXML models. Some techniques you can see in the video https://www.screencast.com/t/xeAlLLVto,
The FZKViewer has a number of nice features:
For me the Spider app looks very promising and with such functionality it will be more handy, I think.
Thank you, E.K.
@EK-CEL Hi, I was using FZKViewer as well. It is second free viewer I am aware of so it is great alternative. I always struggle with zoom.
We are working on new version that will have already some feature you mentioned so we can display each data in different way
windows are not yet present in R12 but will slowly get introduced in R13
We already can see views per Storey and aslo Surface by Type in slightly different way in Aragog.
@mdengusiak Hi, It is nice to see we are on the page with the FZKViewer :-). And thank you for sharing the method of displaying the element's name instead of ID.
Here is my workflow for reviewing my gbXML models:
The problem is when I select a Storey the viewer resets my 'hidden' surfaces. I should re-assign my Surfaces visibility. It is not convenient.
I would like to be able to "lock" the Surface toggle visibility setting, and go through storeys. So, we need a various combinations of toggles' settings. We should be able to lock\unlock a toggle. If it is 'locked' it applies its settings to view, if 'unlocked' - on view update it shows all elements under the toggle.
Thank you, E.K.
