Suppress/Hide Part and Body

The functionality to Suppress and Hide parts and bodies behaves exactly as in the Mechanical application.

  • Suppress implies Hide.

  • Suppress/Hide is possible from both the feature Tree Outline and the Model View window.

  • In the Model View window, suppression issued on a body (edge, face) applies to the body as a whole.

  • Hide means the body is not visible.

  • Suppress means it is not visible and it is also not exported to the Mechanical application.

  • Select All Bodies will select all visible bodies in the model.
