Display empty DeploymentNode in DeploymentView

[lasagnesmatinmidisoir]

Hello,

Is there a way to display an empty DeploymentNode in a Deployment View ?
At the moment, it is not the case due to this line in the function addElementInstancesAndDeploymentNodesAndInfrastructureNodes in the DeploymentView.java file:

        if (hasElementsOrInfrastructureNodes) {
            addElement(deploymentNode, addRelationships);
        }

This feature could be useful to display the network on which the rest of the model is deployed.

Best,

As you've seen, empty deployment nodes are removed from the diagram. I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to achieve though.

Hello !

The idea is that we may want to display parts of the deployment environment without some elements. It could occur that we remove all the content of a deployment node and, although it is empty, its presence in the view is valuable information.

Hope it is clear,
