Add "invisible" state for Feature Patterns in parts

Add "invisible" state for Feature Patterns in parts

Part Feature Pattern Always Active.png

 

As shown in the image above, Part features in the browser will gray out if all the solid(s) they act on are invisible. This is helpful for finding a desired feature in a complex multibody part: you can hide all the solids you aren't working with, and then only the features belonging to solid(s) that are still visible will appear active. You can ignore all of the grayed-out features.

 

However, patterns throw a wrench in this tactic because they always appear active even if every solid they act on is hidden. So you can never be sure whether or not a pattern is acting on one of the visible solids.

 

Can an "invisible" state be added for patterns so they gray out when appropriate like all other features?

Great idea, a suppressed state for patterns would also be helpful.
