Is it possible to hide spaces in linked ifc files? They seem to be visible by default and no visibility button affects them. (either in Spatial Decomposition or in Spatial tool)

I think it raised a feature request some time ago, yes it would be very useful to implement it
Not only when linked .... I think it is already disturbing when I open an IFC.
Maybe I ask a bit too much but a global Visibility Filter Setting for certain IFC Classes (Spaces, Grids, ...) would be comfortable.
I mean, I like Grids or Spaces and do not want to skip these when opening/importing an IFC. But as in my BIM Apps, most of the time, their Layers are just switched off. In Bonsai I have to hide these manually, each time I open an IFC that contains Spaces.
Under Bonsai preferences there are two options in the Drawing section, "Classes to Wireframe" & "Classes that are not cut". You could add a "Classes hidden at start" and then borrow the code from the spatial tools hotkey calls to step through the objects of these classes, and hide them. The problems come with status filters. They will make these objects visible again. The only way to switch spaces off that doesn't get overwritten is to disable the IfcSpace container in the Blender Outliner. Then there's the group filters... <sigh>. The whole hiding and showing stuff is a bit disconnected/disjointed at the moment in my opinion, as a non-professional user.

Under spatial tool there are two operators that toggle between visibility also with hotkeys.
Not automated but it is something

@Massimo
do they act on linked models? I tried with latest but doesn't seem to work
@steverugi no, i don't thik it works with linked models unfortunately...
