Dashboard button show/hide content

Is it possible to have a button or a checkbox that after clicking it will hide or show contents of objects in the model?

The case is that i have a button in one of the dashboards, because this model wil open via webserwer. I want to hide or show content to have options to show client simulation model with all 3D objects and not focus on the simulation itself, but on the other hand i want to hide all contents for my symulation to run a little bit faster to generate plots in the dashboard.

Software Version:

FlexSim 21.1.5

Hi,

You could write this code inside the button:

int value=switch_hidecontents(object,-1);
switch (value){
case 1: switch_hidecontents(object,0);
break;
case 0: switch_hidecontents(object,1);
break;
}

This code is for a singular object but it can be adapted to use it, for example, with groups.

You can check this command and many others on this link: https://docs.flexsim.com/en/21.1/Reference/CodingInFlexSim/CommandReference/CommandGroups.html#switch_hidecontents

I hope it helps!
