This happens to me all the time and is for sure unexpected. I create some sketches and objects then I hide them because I want to use them later and don’t want to mess them up. When I draw something those re-appear even though they should be hidden. ![2021-01-13 18.27.49](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/shapr3d/original/2X/9/93f36bfcff88e5dc0f3a246e0404b9b1b96d0be9.gif) In this video, I made an outline of an ESP32. I put that in a folder and hid the folder. Then I started drawing something else. When I draw the line the hidden folder re-appears. How can I stop the hidden things from becoming un-hidden? ---

It is just the nature of this program. If you sketch on a plane, no matter where whether on the X, Y, or Z planes, or in 3D space, you can hide it. If you start drawing on that same plane, the previously sketched entities will become visible again. ---

Is that a bug or expected behaviour? ---

I would love a setting to disable this “feature”. ---

Currently we don’t have sketch groups. Every plane is a single sketch group. This is why it’s not possible atm. We are aware of this problem, and will come up with a solution. ---
