There was a similar question posted recently, but it involved BMW.
There's no easy method to do it. (It might be quicker to just rebuild the part!) But the process is to add new Part Bodies and Geometric Sets after disabling Hybrid Design, and then reorder (or move) everything out of the hybrid part body and into the new Body and Geometric Set. Once the hybrid body is empty, it can be deleted.
Go to Tools, Options, Infrastructure, Part Infrastructure, Part Documentation and turn thr Hybrid design off.
Open a new product.
Insert the Hybrid Part into the Product.
Go to Tools, Generate CatPart from Product and it should create a new part which isn't Hybrid. Note you might need to delete unused part bodies from the tree.
jec3300 - You will have to rebuild the solid from scratch after disabling the hybrid option. Any method of translation will make a dumb solid, copy paste will make a hybrid.
Its a painful lession of what not to do and to have your adminstrator lock out the setting like in Jackk's facility.
Yes, just tried it again and it does create a dumb solid so clearly I've been as much use as our cat.
Next I spoke to our cat and he suggested I tried using the downward compatibility utility to save a hybrid part back to a per-hybrid version and unsuprisingly I got a dumb solid - which does at least prove that I am indeed as much use as our cat.
Have tried doing various other fiddling and farting to move the geometry into Geometric sets but that wasn't much help either.
It would seem that once you create solid geometry in a Hybrid part body that's it and there's no going back.
Will continue to try other options - I like a challenge - that's why I love V5!!!
