Description
- The difference between Partbody when icon is green, grey or yellow
- In R14 (or R15), Dassault introduced something called Hybrid Design which is what the different colored part body symbols mean
- In Tools >Options you can enable or not-enable Hybrid Design. Once a part is made with Hybrid Design enabled, it's very difficult to change it back
- If your partbody icon is green, it means your current part is the same as your current tools setting. You have a non-hybrid part and Hybrid Design is not enabled. Or, you have a hybrid part and Hybrid Design is enabled
- A yellow part body means you have a hybrid part, but Hybrid Design is not enabled
- A gray symbol means you have a non-hybrid part, but Hybrid Design is enabled
