Analyzing Using Parameterization

You can analyze the structure of a representation and isolate specific features within a 3D representation. This is particularly useful when managing power copies, for example.

Notes:
  • You can use the features displayed in the Parameterization Analysis dialog box in the same way as in the tree.
  • You can perform operations while the Parameterization Analysis dialog box is open.

Before you begin: Create a 3D shape containing geometric elements.
  1. From the Review section of the action bar, click Parameterization Analysis... .
  2. In the Filter list, select Root Features.
    The query is launched and the viewer automatically updates.

    The inactivated features and datum features are displayed.

  3. Select the Inactivated Features filter to display inactivated features only.
  4. Select the Isolated Features filter to display the features who do not have any parents or children.
  5. Click Displays body structure to display the expanded tree structure.
    Each feature is displayed within its own body.
