Hidden objects are still visible?

Developers Ruby API

Changing visible property to hide the selected component:
t5.skp (73.8 KB)

My code:

s = Sketchup.active_model.selection[0]
s.visible = false

But I got the result:

When I clicked anywhere in Sketchup, the selected component disappeared as expected.

What is the right way to hide an object with Ruby?

Everything is working correctly. It shows this way because the object was selected beforehand.
It will also show this way (hidden render) if you use the Outliner to select any hidden object.

Users can also use View > Hidden Objects to globally display hidden objects as you’ve shown.

Thanks Dan. I fixed my code following your suggestion as below:

s = Sketchup.active_model.selection[0]
s.visible = false
Sketchup.active_model.selection.clear
