Can I hide some Astar divider in a model?

Hi,

I have this problem. I have a model where there are some divider with z coordinate = 0 and other divider with z coordinate = 5. Is there a way or a command with which I can hide only some of them, for example those with z coordinate = 0?

Can you halp me?

Thanks in advance.

Put the dividers you want to hide into a visual tool. Then hide the contents of the visual tool.

hide_astar_dividers.fsm

If you then want to programmatically hide and show them, use the switch_hidecontents() command.

Great! thank you!

I have another question. Can I do the same also for the Astar Grid at the same z? In this case doesn't exist the treenode object to shift in the visual tool. Do you have any idea?

The grids are stored as variables in the AStarNavigator object itself. You can hide or show the grid bounds on the Visual tab of the A* Navigator's Properties window. You can't hide each grid's bounds individually.
