Hide or Show Bodies Sample

This rule show the following behavior:

• If a representation has a Geometrical Set or Body with a specific name:
  • It hides all the body and geometrical set except the one.
  • It is extracting this specific body/geometrical set to dedicated layer/color.
• If the representation does not have a Body or a Geometrical Set with a specific name, there are no visible changes.

This rule can be further customized to support:

• Show a body with name "LAYOUT" if it does have such body, and hide bodies with names "SKETCH", "ENVELOPE", "INSULATION", "MAINTENANCE", and so on.
• If no body with name "LAYOUT" show body with name "SKETCH" and hide other bodies.
• If also no body with name "SKETCH" , show body with name "EXACT", and so on.
