[Interest] Qt3D - QEntity & enabling/disabling children

[Sean Harmer]

Hi,

Propagation of enabled/disabled is currently handled per aspect as there 
are use cases for both propagating and not doing so.

For the specific use case you have of hiding/showing groups of entities 
you can use the QLayer component along with QLayerFilter node(s) in your 
framegraph.

Cheers,

Sean
