Mesh.isEnabled and Mesh.isVisible - showing up in inspector?

[tawibox]

Hey folks,

I know we can set a mesh either isEnabled or isVisible. Here is a related question:

Mesh.isEnabled versus Mesh.isVisible

Hello everyone Can someone please help me understand the difference between Mesh.isEnabled and Mesh.isVisible? Mesh.isVisible is pretty self explanatory, however I am not sure if it should be used in conjunction with Mesh.isEnabled. Both seem to update the visibility. I created this babylon.js playground to help me improve my understanding: From my observations, it seems like updating Mesh.isEnabled does not necessarily change the visibility of a Mesh or the value of Mesh.isEnabled.

Just wondering, when we set either of them to false, will the mesh item still show up in the inspector? When I test it in PG, they looks still exist in inspector no matter what “visible” or “enable” state is.

Is there a case for example if we set a mesh setEnabled(false), the mesh item will disappear in the inspector somehow?

Hope this question makes sense. I am just trying to figure out the relationship between visible/enabled state and their availability in inspector.

Many thanks

The Inspector is a debugging tool, so yes, it will still list disabled and hidden meshes.
isEnabled / isVisible only hides/stops the mesh from being rendered.

You are however free to fork, edit and build it yourself
It’s part of the main babylonjs project;
