Hiding or Showing the Geometry of a Solid Functional Set

If the solid functional set is in no show mode, protected features as well as wireframe geometry remain visible unless they are contained in a nested solid functional set.

To hide or show the geometry of a solid functional set:

  • Right-click Solid Functional Set .x and select Hide/Show, or
  • Right-click its corresponding functional solid and select Hide/Show, or
  • Right-click its corresponding body and select Hide/Show.

Features contained in a functional set are not visible if you have selected Only Current Body in the App Options panel. When this option is selected the features contained in the current solid functional set are shown.

If you have selected Only Current Body in the App Options panel, the features contained in the current solid functional set are shown. IfOnly Current Body is not selected all its features are visible.

The following features remain visible once created: protected, hole, push, pull, cutout, and fitting features remain visible once created (shown in red).



In case of pocket, Protected Volume must be selected.

The rest features are hidden by default once created.

Use Hide/Show to manage the visualization of features.
