Creation of hidden variable blocks

Good Morning,
I would like to know if it is possible to create blocks within the vensim, for example, one block of variables provides a result that is used in another block with other variables. The idea would be to hide the variables in each block.

You can hide variables (or delete from from all views), is that what you mean?

Variables inside macros are also hidden for most purposes.

However, there's no general hierarchy.

Below is a model for example, where I would like the number of panels and the load to be inside the solar energy variable.
When it was necessary to change these variables I would go into the solar energy block and change.
I need to do this so that the model is not visually polluted as it increases.

I think what you really need to do is use multiple views.

Open the Vensim help, click the "User Guide" section, then chapter 9 (multiple views).
