I think that you can use a transparent appearence in the case you want to hide object and make it static(or global) to save it on all objects u want to hide. The problem you may get is to regain the old appearence so u can inherit shape3d and add another function called toggle appearence to use a static transparent appearence instead of the one you use and when you want to regain old appearance toggle it again.
