Show and hide connections
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.
You can hide published connections by selecting Show Relationship Connections from the Hypergraph Connections editor or Hypershade menu. The Hypergraph hides all the connections indicating a relationship (as opposed to a transfer of data). This includes connections from internal nodes to their container borders (published attribute container connections). This cleans up the inside of each container.
You can also merge multiple connections from one node to another by selecting Merge Connections (for more information, see Merge connections). This is useful for simplifying very complex networks of nodes and connections. Among other things, this merges all published attribute container connections from an internal node to its container border.
