how to deal with blanking or overset

[mlohry]

I have an overset mesh topology where each vertex has a "blanking" value of 0 or 1 to indicate visibility. Is there anything to accommodate this to not show the blanked portions, or should I manually remove them from the mesh?

You may be able to use our ghost logic to automatically threshold these away.

It's not vertex associated, but element associated.

If you have an ascent_ghosts field,
0: normal element ( real element, keep)
1: ghost element (threshold away before rendering)
2: ignore element (threshold away at the start of the pipeline)

@cyrush thanks, that should work, will give it a try.
