How to make the non visible nodes keep there space in a box Container ?
I have a boxContainer, and when i togle the visible proprety, the node no longer takes up space in the boxContainer. I want to keep a blank space when its not visible
2

maybe try adding control node on top of the visual one, and turn off the visual one, while control stays visible

3

Try setting alpha value of the modulate to 0

Those are both valid options. Another would be to just give the container it is inside a minimum size.
