Part VI: Using Advanced Techniques


Figure 26.22 also shows the other options in the right mouse button (RMB) menu. All the bodies
in the folder can be alternately shown or hidden from this menu, as well as deleted. While the
Hide or Show state of a body does not create a history-based feature in the tree, the Delete feature
does, as discussed previously. The Insert into New Part feature and the Save Bodies feature shown
in this menu are discussed in Chapter 28.

You can expand the Display pane in parts to show display information for bodies. In Figure 26.23,
the Display pane shows the colors assigned to the solid bodies, as well as the fact that several sur-
face bodies exist but are hidden.
