Create

Opens a dialog box to input a name, choose a type, and select entities for a new Blocking Subset.

Note:  The subset name cannot be already in use as a part name.

You can use the Type drop-down list to choose whether to create a DISPLAY subset or a NAMED_SELECTION subset.

  • A DISPLAY subset allows you to control the visibility of the subset independently. You may add only Blocks to a display subset.

    For a description of how to control visibility of a DISPLAY subset, see Mesh Subsets.

  • A NAMED_SELECTION subset adds blocking entities into a topologically related group. The subset information is included in the Blocking file (*.blk) when the project is saved. You may add Faces, Edges, and/or Vertices to a named selection subset.

After the subset is created, it will be displayed in the Display Tree under Blocking > Subsets as shown below.
