Hide a Model Type or Port Type

As a Model Writer, you can choose to hide or show Model Types and Port Types in the Model Library. A typical reason for hiding Model Types and Port Types is that they are not meant for direct use on the Canvas; for example, a Model Type is used only as a submodel and is not meant to be placed directly on the Canvas by the Model Writer or Simulation Builder.

Hide a Model Type or Port Type

1. In the Model Library, select the Model Type or Port Type that you want to hide, and edit it.

2. In the General section, select the Hide in Model Library based on Role checkbox.

   The Model Type or Port Type is hidden in the Model Library based on role permissions, which typically hides the Model Type or Port Type from Simulation Builders.

   If you hide all Model Types, Port Types, Curve Types, and Fluid Types in a Model Library, the Model Library is hidden as well.
