How do you suppress one of the features in your model?

To suppress a feature in your model, the correct method involves right-clicking the feature in the path model and selecting the hide option. This action effectively prevents the feature from being displayed and taken into account in calculations or visualizations within the design, allowing for a more streamlined model without permanently deleting the feature.

This method is advantageous for verifying design changes without permanently altering the model or losing feature information, enabling designers to manage complex assemblies or features easily. The suppression of a feature maintains the integrity of the overall model while also offering flexibility during the design process.

Other options do not serve the purpose of suppressing a feature accurately. For example, deleting a feature removes it entirely from the model, which is not reversible unless you undo the action. Changing the feature's properties to invisible might provide some functionality, but it does not truly suppress it as it could still affect other aspects of the model. Dragging the feature to a suppress folder is typically not a standard method in many CAD software options and might not function as expected in Solid Edge. Therefore, the best practice for suppressing features in the context of Solid Edge involves the right-click and hide method.
