Digital asset button to toggle visibility of inner nodes

[samboosa]

Hello!

I'm trying to make a good Digital asset interface and I was wondering if there was a way to make a button which toggles the visibility of certain nodes within the asset...

Is this possible? I don't object to using python but I'm not that familiar with it...

Please let me know

A cleaner way would be to use a switch node. If that won't work in this case check out the Python documentation.

Hmm as you put it, using a switch might be cleaner...

My goal would be to have a geo node, and to have some sort of way of toggeling the visibility of specific nodes within that from the upper parameter interface.

I'll see what I can do

I also solved this in the past using a switch node.

Basically you need to switch between "objectA", "objectB", and "a merge-node that merges objectA &objectB".

Add more merges and switches for more complicated visibilities.

or to keep it simple, add a switch to every node You want to display, and add a null to every switch as first input, then connect all switches to a merge and promote all switch sliders to Your asset as a toggle parameter, now You can just turn on all the nodes You want without complicated logic on a single switch
