You can streamline the connections shown in the Hypergraph Connections editor and Hypershade in a number of ways. This is useful when you are working with a complex scene consisting of many connections.

To hide published connections in the Hypergraph and Hypershade

1. Select Options > Show Relationship Connections from the Hypergraph Connections editor or Hypershade menu.

   All the connections indicating a relationship (but not those indicating a transfer of data) are hidden. This includes connections from internal nodes to their asset’s borders (published attribute asset connections).

To merge multiple connections from one node to another

1. Select Options > Merge Connections (for more information, see Merge connections) from the Hypergraph Connections editor or Hypershade menu.

   Any set of multiple connections from one node to another are merged into a thick connection. This is especially useful to merge all published attribute asset connections from an internal node to its asset’s border.
