visibility override on procedurals

[Shawn_Kearney1]

I'm having some trouble understanding how to override specific shapes' visibility. I took a look at the ass file and noticed that the "visibility" parameter changed to something like 244 (or 144) from 255. But when I tried setting the visibility parameter in the procedural override there was no effect.

I tested the selection with matte=on, so I have the correct node selected. But I cannot get the visibility to work right.

Depends what you want to do.

visiblity is a bitmask.

In decimal:

• AI_RAY_CAMERA = 1
• AI_RAY_SHADOW = 2
• AI_RAY_DIFFUSE_TRANSMIT = 4
• AI_RAY_SPECULAR_TRANSMIT = 8
• AI_RAY_VOLUME = 16
• AI_RAY_DIFFUSE_REFLECT = 32
• AI_RAY_SPECULAR_REFLECT = 64
• AI_RAY_SUBSURFACE = 128

So visiblity = 13 gives you camera and transmission (1 + 4 + 8 = 13 )

is this somewhere in the Doc's? if yes, it's impossible to find ...
