Description
### 📝 Description of the feature
I need to import geometry from a Catia CATPart (with surfaces and solids). Currently I can only import what is visible in Catia when the part is saved. But I would like to be able to also import hidden features (that could be surfaces or solids hidden in the feature tree in catia).
It would be a similar option as "Import hidden components and geometry" under "File Options" in Spaceclaim.
### 💡 Steps for implementing the feature
I am currently using the CadReaderRoute.SPACECLAIM in prime.ImportCadParams.
it would be great if the params could include an import_hidden_features=True/False setting.

Research direction
Start with prime.ImportCadParams and the CadReaderRoute.SPACECLAIM path to determine where import options are defined and passed through. Check how CATPart surfaces and solids are currently selected, then verify that an import_hidden_features=True/False option controls hidden geometry without changing the default behavior.
