Hide unpublished nodes and attributes

You can hide all unpublished information in an asset with the Black Box option. When an asset is in Black Box mode:

• Only published selection transforms, parent anchors, child anchors and other assets appear when the asset is expanded in any editor.
• Unpublished nodes encapsulated by the asset are not shown in the DAG hierarchy.
• Unpublished nodes are removed from the Channel Box and Attribute Editor.
• Unpublished nodes become un-selectable in the scene. Trying to select an unpublished node from the asset instead selects whatever asset centric selection would select.
• Pick-walking only selects published nodes.
• Black Box assets cannot be expanded in the Hypergraph.
• Using the Select Asset Contents option only selects published nodes.

To set an asset as a Black Box

1. Select an asset in your scene.
2. Open the Attribute Editor.
3. In the Asset Attributes section, turn on Black Box.
