I am currently working on configurator application and it looks something like this

We have
- Some configurations on left
- A Thing View with a model loaded in the middle
- A list of selected configuration on the right
I want achieve two things here.
- Some how get a list of all parts that are currently on this model and I will make them checked by default in the left menu.
- Hide and show specific parts based on my selection on the left menu. For example, when I unselect Bucket from the menu it should be removed from the model and when I check it , it comes back.
This feature I want to add is similar to the Windchill Visualization option. But I don't know where to look for this in Thing Worx and what option of Thing View I need to update.
