Controlling the visibility of the bodies

Top | Previous | Next

 

When constructing the skeleton of a complex product, it is useful to hide some bodies and leave others visible. This can be done using a standard Autodesk Inventor feature that allows you to highlight or hide selected bodies in the side browser. However, it is sometimes more convenient to select bodies on the screen and specify which action you want to perform – hide or highlight the body. For this purpose, the skeleton dressup environment provides commands to control the visibility of the bodies.
