How to hide a node

rshmjkrn

Hi, I'm trying to hide a pair of boots through a script 

var bootNode = Scene.findNodeByLabel("LJBoots");

DzNode(bootNode).setHidden(true);

but this is not hiding the node in the scene.

I'm new to Daz3D Studio and Daz3D scripting, any help is appreciated.

That doesn't work for whole figure if set via the Tool Settings pane, with the Joint Editor tool active. I don't know if that is the correct behaviour or not. It does work (via script and via the pane) for bones and for props.

This is how the shoes were added to the figure. I opened the SmartContent pane, and then picked Genesis 8. Then in the same SmartContent from under the Wardrobe tree I picked Footwear and added "Bardot Sandals", "Newport_Shoes", and "LJBoots". Now using a script how can hide this Footwear?  

In the Scene pane, the Genesis 8 figure and all the Wardrobe items appear as Nodes. I'm having trouble selecting at least one Node by the Label name that appears in the Scene pane. I would appreciate some code that shows how to select a Node object that is appearing in the Scene pane and set it to hidden.

As I said, if you are wanting to hide items in the scene pane it appears to work for props (single node items without rigging) and bones but not for figures - if the shoes are figures (items with a bone hierarchy) then as far as I can see you can't currently do this, I don't know if that is the intent or not.
