DesignModeler-3D Geometry

There are two body states in DM:
Active:
Body can be modified by normal modeling operations (cannot be sliced)
Active bodies are displayed in blue in the Feature Tree View
The body's icon in the Feature Tree View is dependent on its type - solid, surface, or line
Frozen:   (>Tools>Freeze)
Main Purpose:  
Provides alternate method for Assembly Modeling.
A Frozen body is immune to all modeling operations except slice, blend, chamfer, face delete and split edges.
To move all active bodies to the Frozen state, use the Freeze feature (freeze applies to all)
To move individual  bodies from the frozen to active, select the body and use the Unfreeze feature.

Frozen bodies are displayed as transparent in the Tree View.
Body Suppression:
Suppressed bodies are not plotted.
Suppressed bodies are not sent to other Workbench modules for meshing or analysis, nor are they included in the model when exporting to a Parasolid file (.x_t).
In the tree outline an “X” is shown for each suppressed body
