How to import CATIA models with hidden elements

CAD Exchanger SDK does not import hidden elements from CATIA by default. To import them, enable the ImportHiddenObjects parameter for CAT_Reader:
  1. CAT_Reader aReader;
  2. CAT_ReaderParameters aParams;
  3. aParams.ImportHiddenObjects() = true;
  4. aReader.Parameters() = aParams;
