In PathFinder, how can you hide a part from a subassembly?

To hide a part from a subassembly in PathFinder, unchecking the box next to the part is an effective method. This action toggles the visibility of the selected part without removing it from the subassembly, allowing you to manage your workspace more efficiently. Keeping the part in the assembly while simply hiding it maintains the assembly's structure, enabling you to easily show or reference it later when needed.

Changing the part's visibility settings is an alternative approach that might seem similar but often refers to more complex settings than simply toggling visibility in the PathFinder interface. Deleting a part from the assembly removes it entirely, which may not be desirable if you want to retain the part for future use. Moving the part out of the assembly can lead to structural problems or confusion regarding the assembly's hierarchy, as it interrupts the intended configuration. Hence, unchecking the box provides a straightforward and reversible way to control visibility without altering the assembly's structure.
