Mark a Parameter as Hidden or Disabled

Mark a Parameter as Hidden or Disabled

There are times that I need one dimension to be relative to another dimension. But I don't want the user to change this dimension. There are times when it's ok for them to SEE it but then there are times that I don't even want them to see it either.

Example: SideA = 1, SideB = SideA * 1.5 (SideB should ALWAYS be one and half times SideA).

 

Proposed Workflow:
Create the parameter and in the properties, there would a Visibility property (for the parameter itself). Options would be: Normal (default), Hidden or Disabled.

 

This would allow me to avoid having to create parameters with names like "SideB - DO NOT MODIFY" and then HOPING that the user doesn't modify it.

So many years have passed and so many versions have been released, but there is still no function for hiding parameters in families...

Thats sad..
