Hiding Pattern Parts in a view

[nicolasmontagner3454]

I'm using Intent Professional 2011.

I want to hide some parts in a view.

This does'nt work for Pattern parts. Is there a way to hide patterns in a view?

I made a list of children I wanted to hide in a view and then call that list in the the hiddenParts parameter for the view.

The example code is from my app that builds concrete wall structures. In the building model, I have parts and assemblies that are not visible in the wall assemblies. When I added a view for a wall on a drawing sheet, the visible parts where showing up.

'List of invisible parts

Rule sideWallHiddenParts As List
        Dim result As List = {}
        Dim chld As Part
        For Each chld In Me.children
            If chld.visible? = False And (chld.isKindOf?(:IvAdoptedPart) Or chld.isKindOf?(:IvAssemblyDocument)) Then
                result = result + {chld}
            End If
        Next
        Return result
  End Rule

'View child rule

Child rightWallStructuralLayout As :IvBaseView
        designViewRepresentation = "Intent"
        viewName = "View3"
        viewOrientation = :front
        origin = Point(Me.width/4,Me.height/3,0)
        viewScale = scale
        viewStyle = :hiddenLine
        model = viewmodel.rightWall
        hiddenParts = viewmodel.rightWall.sideWallHiddenParts
    End Child

You should be able to do something similar to hide the patterns.

Make a list using isKindOf?() and look for IvAssemblyPattern, IvCircularOccurrencePattern, IvFeatureOccurrencePattern, or IvRectangularOccurrencePattern

I hope this helps

thank you for your answer,

I made the list of parts to hide but it doesn't work for the parts that are in a pattern.

I think I will replace my pattern by a childlist even if it is slower.
