Hidden objects

[Billywiz]

Hi Pablo, the option to "Render Hidden Objects" does not seem to be working. If I select the option in "View" and hide the object in the Object manager it cannot be seen as a greyed out object.

Maybe it's not inside the viewport?

It's when its inside the workspace that it happens, its invisible, if I take the object out of the workspace then it is greyed out.

To be able to help you, I need a demo project.

Thanks for the project, but what do I need to do to see the problem?

Note that hidden layout grids will not be render because they are floating, so they have no size when hidden.

Select any object, go to object manager and uncheck "Visible", the object is not visible as a greyed out object even though "Render Hiden Objects" is selected.
Check "Visible" in the Object Manager and move the object from the workspace to a blank area and uncheck "Visible" in the object manager, the object can now be seen as a greyed out object.

To which specific object is this related?

[Billywiz]

All of them, Text, Menu and FAQ extension, lt happens to all objects

I have uploaded a bare bones project. There are two Gomenus, one inside a layout grid and one on its own.
The one inside the layout grid disappears and the one on its own gets greyed out.

This is normal behavior.

Floatings elements do not have a size when they are hidden. They are removed from the document flow.

Thank you for clarifying that for me.

Pablo, I think there is a misunderstanding here, I am not talking about hidden objects when published I am talking about the feature to "Render Hidden Objects" within the program.
For example if I create a project and have different breakpoints all with the same objects but I want to remove an object from a breakpoint then I hide that object in that breakpoint but I am still able to see its position in that breakpoint because it is greyed out, isnt that the idea of the Render Hidden Objects choice within the "View" selection

I was also referring to that.

The option "Render Hidden Objects" is only useful for fixed/absolute layouts. Because only then the object will take up space.
In floating/flexible layouts, hidden objects do not take up space because their size is zero.

Thanks Pablo, it's clear now.
