This just happened to me this morning, I split a part into a multibody part and as soon as I did the split, the entire design tree got greyed out. It doesnt matter if I have only one body visible or both of them, the tree stays greyed out. I can still edit features but its annoying to not know what is on and whats off. I opened a new file mocked up a quick part with various features performed a split and same results. Anyone know if this is a feature or an issue?

thanks

Here is an example. Once I perform the split everything above that is greyed out. I dont think this was the case before.

I never paid any attention to this before - but after a bit of experimenting it seems logical that it couldn't be any other way.

I split a simple cube with Split Solid to create two solid bodies from one.

If I expand the two solid bodies I can see the original feature and Solid Body 1 consumed by the operation.

I would not expect to be able to right click and show Solid Body1 or the Extrusion 1 since they are consumed.

If I drag the EOP above the Split I see Solid Body 1 and the Extrusion.

It just means there consumed I believe, just like a sketch turns grey when you perform a extrusion or something.
