Attachments visible

Can I somehow make attachments visible, when the parent component is not visible? E.g. a hidden conveyor that grabs components.

If you have acces to modeling tab you can make all geometies not visible manually. But it takes some hard work and dedication:D

Hi,

in the Python API you can set getComponent().NodeVisible to False.

Recommend to hide all features on the modeling Tab instead of invisibling components.

Thank you for the answers - sorry for the late reply. Hiding in the modelling tab was also my idea, but it seems that you need some sort of visible geometry on the conveyor in order for the attached component to stay visible. The closest I got was to hide everything but the belt in the modelling tab and then make the belt glass material. This works in shaded mode, but I see the outline in edge shaded mode.
