Rebar Visibility.
A pane to toggle rebar and rebar hosts on the active view — ticking applies instantly, and switching views re-reads the state automatically.
01 · THE PROBLEM
Toggling rebar on a structural drawing still goes through Visibility/Graphics: open the dialog, hunt for the right sub-category, tick it, click OK — and repeat on every new view because Revit doesn't remember the context, with no way to filter down to a single element or rebar style.
~10 click
Every toggle means a trip through Visibility/Graphics
Open Visibility/Graphics, switch to the Model Categories tab, expand Structural Rebar, tick or untick, click OK — the whole sequence repeats every time rebar needs to be shown or hidden, and starts over on the next view.

No filtering by host element or rebar style
Visibility/Graphics only switches the whole Structural Rebar category on or off — to see a column's rebar while hiding the beams', or to separate stirrup-ties from main bars, elements have to be picked one by one with Temporary Isolate.

Revit's own Rebar Visibility control only works in 3D views
Per Autodesk's own documentation, the native Rebar Visibility command only works from a 3D view — checking rebar on a structural plan or section, where engineers actually review it, falls back to the blunt category toggle in Visibility/Graphics.

Switch views and the state resets
VG overrides belong to each view individually — reviewing rebar across dozens of floor plans means re-toggling by hand on every one, and missing a single view means a wrong print nobody notices.

What it does
A similar add-in on the Autodesk App Store runs into the same wall: Visibility Rebar In View ($5, capped at Revit 2020) only works from a 3D view and offers just four hard-coded groups — concrete hosts, individual bars, the whole view, or the whole model — with no filter by category or rebar style. Rebar Visibility works on any active view, filters by category, host element and rebar style, and re-reads its state automatically on every view switch:
