constructionPlane problem

[brad.bylls]

In my add-in script I have created two construction planes to do some mirroring.

    planes = newComp.constructionPlanes

    constPlane = newComp.yZConstructionPlane

    planeInput = planes.createInput()

    offsetDistance = adsk.core.ValueInput.createByReal(0)

    planeInput.setByOffset(constPlane, offsetDistance)

    yzPlane = planes.add(planeInput)

After the mirroring is done I try:

    yzPlane.isVisible = False

and I get an exception error that says "can't set attribute".

I have also tried:

    constPlanes.isVisible = False

and get the same exception error.

IntelliSense shows "isVisible" is available for yzPlane and constPlane

Hi @brad.bylls .

The isVisible property is read only property.

Ok
Then how do you make them invisible?

Hi Mr BradBylls,

This seems to be the old trap. Consider familiarising yourself with https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-360-api-and-scripts/show-hide-jointorigin/m-p/9839486#M11771 

and check isLightBulbOn. Who knows, it might work.
