    Turn hatching "off"? Create a dynamic block with a visibility parameter?

    See my revised suggestion above.

    Turn layers on and off with the Block Editor. Not that I am aware of.

    Just what is it that you are trying to do?

    Alright, I'm back from creating a block where I can turn the hatching on/off or freeze and thaw it. Now what?

    I never had the opportunity to inquire. I would have to test it. Have you tried testing it?

    Open the block using the Block Editor. Click on the hatch pattern. Now look at the Properties panel. Do you see an entry for Hatch On/Off?

    You don't have to be "hot with block editor" to look at the Properties palette of the hatch pattern.

    In my opinion you cannot turn off a hatch in the Block Editor.
