Suppressed volumes should be given a unique color or look
Right now there is no way to tell if a volume is suppressed by just looking at the model. The user has to go into the browser and expand each material to see if it has suppresses volumes. Even then, it's not obvious which ones they are in an assembly.
I suggest giving suppressed parts a special look so they can easily by identified by just looking at the model.
As Paul mentioned, you can see the suppressed part as a purple-blue in the mesh task. I accepted the idea since this display difference could be extended to other tasks as well.
I understand this may not be desirable for all applications, but I chose to create a custom "Suppressed" material that I assign to volumes I will want to suppress. When complete, I go into the Materials category in the Design Study Bar browser, select the Suppressed sub-category which selects all Suppressed material objects>right-click>Suppress and suppress them all at once.
Of course you wouldnt want to do this for materials you want to resume in the future or other scenarios.
