The Std ToggleVisibility command toggles the visibility of selected objects.

Select one or more objects.
- Invisible objects can be selected in the Tree view.
- Be careful when you use Ctrl+A to select all objects in the Tree view. This will also selects sub-elements of PartDesign bodies and objects used for Part Booleans. In most cases these should stay invisible.
- Objects used for Part Booleans are also selected when you use Ctrl+A in the 3D view.
There are several ways to invoke the command:
- Select the View → Toggle visibility option from the menu.
- Select the View → Visibility → Toggle visibility option from the menu.
- Select the Toggle visibility option from the Tree view context menu. This option is not available in the PartDesign Workbench.
- Use the keyboard shortcut: Space.

The action of this command cannot be undone with Std Undo.
The visibility of an object can also be changed through its DataVisibility parameter in the Property editor or the Combo view.

Use the show and hide methods of an object to change its visibility.

import FreeCADGui

obj = FreeCADGui.ActiveDocument.myObjectName
