Step export and hidden objects

erik_knudsenerik_knudsen Member Posts: 11 PRO
I often use the export to step-file feature of onshape - and I have recently found an oddity/inconsistency that I am curious about:
On the one hand, if I hide a part in an assembly and export the assembly, the hidden part is not exported.
OTOH, if the part is a member of a group and the group as a whole is hidden, the part _is_  included in the resulting step-file. This seems a bit counterintuitive to me. Is there a particular reason for this?
