Assemblies in Assemblies not load to the next higher Assembly

[colin.maxwellY4HC6]

In Plant 3D Xrefs are used to put an assembly or part in an assembly. You can tell Plant 3D via Xrefs not to load a particular part or assembly into the next higher assembly.

Can this be done in Inventor?

Hi!

You mean visibility on/off of some parts/assemblies?!

Different programs, different approaches... What do you really want to do?

Hi Colin,

Yes, Carlos is right. When a component's visibility is turned off or the component is suppressed (Model State), it will not be loaded on open.

Many thanks!

I want to load a structure A in as a reference to an assembly 1. Then load that assembly 1  into assembly 2, without the structure A being in assembly 2.

Hi Colin,

The Structure A will be there. But you may turn off its visibility.

Many thanks!
