Allows you to hide details of the S3D/SPR graphic model that are not needed or could be distracting while you are working with the model in CAESAR II. For example, if you import a Smart 3D model using the CAESAR II APCF or PCF import functions and want to reference the S3D/SPR graphic model for context, the piping elements in the CAESAR II model and the S3D/SPR graphic reference model can overlap and cause confusion. You can turn off the display of piping elements from the S3D/SPR Visibility Options, which enables you to compare the changes more easily.
