Defining the HideHotPoints attribute
This attribute allows you to define whether the item's hotpoints will be hidden in the 3D environment and the print page.
With a value of True, the item's hotpoints are not displayed when attempting to quote in the 3D environment or on the print page.
When registering this attribute, its default configuration defines that it is automatically created (in a hidden way) for all entities (Automatic Creation property) with a default value of False (False), that is, the attribute is applied to all items to define that the module's hotpoints will not be hidden, being displayed normally when dimensioning. If it is necessary to define that hotpoints should not be displayed at the time of dimensioning, it is necessary to apply the attribute in the module and change its value to True.
Example:
Module aggregates that should not be quoted separately at the factory's discretion should receive this attribute with a value of True.
Through the images below it is possible to notice that, on the left, with the HideHotPoints attribute with a value of False or not even applied (due to the default value - False), the hotpoints are displayed normally during the dimensioning. On the right, with the HideHotPoints attribute with a True value, hotpoints are no longer displayed during dimensioning.
