Hide Features in Creo

Hide Features in Creo

Hide Features in Creo

(OP)
Dear All,

I am trying to hide features in a single part which are accumulating and visually getting in the way. I've tried creating a layer, putting a feature on it, and hiding the layer. The layer shows up as hidden under the layer tree, but the feature remains visible. Has anyone had any success?

Chris

RE: Hide Features in Creo

up to wildfire 4.0 you cannot hide a feature using layers. You would need to suppress and deal with the children. I assume that in CREO it is the same. Are you new to creo? You can hide components, datums, curves and surfaces using layers or hide.

RE: Hide Features in Creo

You have never been able to hide solid geometry in Pro/E.

The Help for this program was created in Windows Help format, which depends on a feature that isn't included in this version of Windows.

RE: Hide Features in Creo

the trick to hide solid geometry is to add the solid geometry to a layer then suppress by layer

RE: Hide Features in Creo

Chris,

I think your best bet to hide the features would be to suppress them. If you have a complex model suppressing features will speed regen times but may also cause reference issues. One way to hide features would be to make them as surface features that can be solidified to modify your solid via add or remove material.

Proe / creo has always had the ability to be as flexible as possible if you reference dagums and other features that are never suppressed. Most people cascade references by sketching on faces of previous features which may sometimes help design intent but not always.

You can create a saved search for features of type Solid Geometry but as said above you will only be able to hide all or none of your solid features.
