Inserting a New Body

Types of Bodies You Insert

If you first select features from an existing body to place them into a new body, this new body is of the same type as the body from which you have selected the features.

In other words, if for example you select features from a hybrid body, then click Body from the Structure section of the action bar, this new body is a hybrid body even if Enable hybrid design inside part bodies and bodies is cleared. For more information about this setting, see the Customizing section, 3D Shape in the user's guide.

Showing or Hiding Bodies

To hide all the features, even the sketches, of a current or non-current body, simply use the Hide components contextual command.

Conversely, use the Show components contextual command to restore the view.
