Shouldn't normally be needed to do that unless you've set hidden = true on all the sub objects yourself.

For example, start with a blank scene, draw a box, and hide it (using regular UI).

If you then run this script it should show the box, by only setting .hidden = false on the top level box object only:

var box = moi.geometryDatabase.getObjects().item(0); box.hidden = false;
