Hello

Got a CATIA V5 3D data file. However, the 3D part bodies in geometric area are invisible. When clicking "Document property", the 3D part body is shown in the small pop-up window (picture of screen shot as the following).

getfile.aspx


So, the 3D part body really exists in this CATIA data file, but I don't know what reason causes the geometric area invisible. I checked "hide/show" - it is not under "hide". Do I need to change some setting to make the geometric area show up?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Tom

hi,

you can try to click on the tool bar "tools", the icone "only currente boby" (cf. image)




I hope that it'll help you...

sorry for my accent :)
 
Also try Tools/Visualization Filters and make sure all are on
 
Thanks all for helps. Unfortunately the geometric area is still invisible. I think probably it is due to my CATIA V5 environment setting, which I will double check. Again, thanks.
 
I have a couple other suggestions:

1. View + Fit-All-In
2. View and verify there is a checkmark in front of GEOMETRY, and then Fit-All-In
3. right-click on a body, and REFRAME ON
4. Right-click on top item in the tree and DEFINE WORK OBJECT
5. Tools + Options + Infrastructure + Part Infrastructure - Display tab, and verify nothing is active in the middle DISPLAY IN GBEOMETRY AREA section
6. Use SWAP VISIBLE SPACE to make sure everything isn't hidden
7. Check tree for branch called MASKS, and if it's there, make sure all Masks are inactive (blue)
 
check the layer of the solid and if there is any filter applied

check the last feature of the solid, does it remove the complete solid? (ie sewing operation with wrong direction)

if the first feature of the solid visible when you edit it?
