Hide On Empty
The Hide On Empty plug-in hides its container when a target text geometry matches a given condition. The condition may be an empty text, or text displaying a zero value, such as 0 or 0.0, depending on the plug-in parameters.
Note: This plug-in is located in: Built Ins -> Container plug-ins -> Tools
Hide On Empty Properties

Other text container: Drag the container containing the text geometry to set the target. Enable by selecting Other as Text container.

Treat as numerical: Hides the target container if the specified text is 0 or 0.0, in addition to empty text.
-
Invert visibility: Displays the container when the condition is satisfied instead of hiding the target container when the condition matches.
