I have 2 different design concepts in one CATProduct. Right now I just select the compoents in one design and then hide them and then select the components in the other design and show them. OK now since there are only a couple compents to hide and show. However, I'd like a way to make just one selection of either concept 1 or concept 2 and hide/show from there.

Possible? Is there some way to group components into something selectable?

Fighter Pilot - you need to look at scene creation in assembly design.

Ah yes, this is what I was looking for. It is more straightforward method than what I had in mind.

Thanks...

Yes, Enhanced Scenes work well.

You can also create a "Group" of objects via DMU Space/Nav Analysis.

Click:
1. Activate DMU Space or Nav Analysis workbench
2. Insert - Group
3. Select components to group
4. Hide/show the group or define properties (eg. transparency, color etc.)
