Enumeration: SnapsVisibility

Controls how connection points are displayed in the 3D scene.

This enum defines the visibility behavior for snap connection points in the modular configurator scene. The visibility setting affects when and how users can see connection points, which impacts the discoverability and usability of modular assembly features.

The right visibility setting depends on the product type and target audience: technical users might prefer all connection points visible, while casual users might prefer a cleaner view with points shown only when needed.

Enumeration Members​

ALL​

ALL: "ALL"

Always show all snap points regardless of camera angle or occlusion.

In ALL mode, connection points are always visible on every product in the scene, regardless of camera angle or whether they're hidden behind other objects. This ensures maximum discoverability of all possible connection points.

This mode is useful for technical users or when it's important to see all possible connection points regardless of the current view.

SELECTED​

SELECTED: "SELECTED"

Only specifically designated snap points are always visible.

In SELECTED mode, only specifically designated snap points will always be visible (like in ALL mode). All other snap points follow the VISIBLE behavior, showing only when they face the camera and aren't occluded.

This hybrid mode allows important connection points to remain visible at all times while keeping less critical points visible only when relevant.

VISIBLE​

VISIBLE: "VISIBLE"

Show snap points only when they face the camera.

In VISIBLE mode, connection points are shown only when they are facing the camera. Points that are partially obscured by other objects will appear semi-transparent (opacity 0.5), and points that are completely hidden will not be visible at all.

This creates a more intuitive interface by showing connection points only when they would be practically usable from the current view angle.
