Where is the Entire Part reference set (Timestamp Off)?

[CNSZU]

In the Part Navigator, by turning off the timestamp mode you get a list of all reference sets under the node "Reference Sets". All, except the Entire Part reference set. This is very unfortunate, because since I have only solid bodies on the Model reference set, I can't see any of the surface bodies in the part. Is there a way to turn on the Entire Part reference set so I can see a list of ALL bodies in the part, including surface bodies?

Hi,

You manipulate Reference Sets (meaning pick and choose which ones to utilize) in the Assembly Navigator, not the Part Navigator. No clue why Reference Sets would even show up in the Part Navigator - it isn't there when Timestamp Order is chosen and if it were, it wouldn't mean much to me because I can't use them in the context of a part, only an assembly. In my mind, that's like having Extrude buried under the Assemblies menu (old pulldown).....not too practical given how it's meant to be used in the Navigator.

With that being said, go over to your Assembly Navigator and right click on your components to activate the Entire Part Reference Set.

In this case I'm not using the reference sets to control what's displayed in the context of an assembly, I'm using them to show what features make up each body.

Attached is an image showing what I mean. As you can see, only two of the bodies are listed, because the reference set is Model. I cannot find a way to add the Entire Part reference set to also include the sheet body to the list. I need this so I can manipulate all bodies and change their body names.

Entire Part ref set would be useless as it would also show the bodies from ref set model...
You will find your sheets in the Unused Items folder...

My apologies, my example was too simple. In the case shown above, yes, the surface body does appear in the Unused Items folder. However, if the surface is used downstream, for example to trim off the solid body, it disappears from the Unused Items folder. See below example. My question still stands.
