Can you see the original deform component shape in assembly?
Can you see the original deform component shape in assembly?
(OP)
I have a deformable o-ring seal in an assembly. In my assembly I also have the exact cross sectional shape I want it to deform to. If I modify the assembly to the point where I need a different sized o-ring I would not be able to know it. It will always be modeled to the correct size even if the o ring is 3 inches or 4 inches in diameter. I know can see the undeformed shape by going into the o-ring part, but then I don't have a size relation to other components in my assembly.
I will add a HOC requirement to let me know, but it would be nice if there would be a way to simply toggle the deformed part and the orginal part in the main assembly.
