You want to be careful when using the addprop "visibility" hack, I've seen many a visibility property disappear off objects that had been in partitions with one applied depending on how you remove the object from the partition, if the object has a visibility property in all partitions in all passes etc... I don't use that method anymore, it can lead to problems down the line... you're much better off doing the proper way through overrides...

is it possible to do the addprop visibility to an entire partition"?
im asking because visibility doesnt show up under the property menu so i
was wondering if there was a reason for it not being exposed?
ive been copying visibility properties from other elements, although i
think it may be causing kinkyness elsewhere.

does copying a visibility property from something else effectively
instantiate it?
will the partition try to inheret the visibility settings of the object
it was copied from?

or should it be the same as add prop?

or should i stick to overrides?
thanks
