I found hideCategories for the UCLASS() however I have the following:

```
UPROPERTY(VisibleAnywhere, BlueprintReadOnly )
USkeletalMeshComponent* MeshComponent;

```

and I want to hide all categories dealing with the SkeletalMeshComponent **EXCEPT** for “Mesh”.

Can’t find anything on the API so I’m hoping I’m just missing something.

Thanks!

Replace “VisibleAnywhere” with “VisibleDefaultsOnly” and you will no longer see its categories in your UClass.
