Planes Off - Nested
Overview
Planes Off All Nested hides the primary work planes (1, 2, and 3) for every component in the active assembly, including all nested components inside subassemblies.
Use this to fully declutter large assemblies where many components have visible planes.
How It Works
- Recursively iterates through all occurrences in the active assembly (all nesting levels).
- For each component document:
- Sets planes 1, 2, and 3 hidden.
- If the component contains a ShowPlanes user parameter and rules that use it, custom planes can be driven hidden as well.
Usage Instructions
- Open the assembly you want to clean up.
- Click Planes Off All Nested in the Configure panel.
- Review the assembly to confirm planes are hidden throughout the hierarchy.
Troubleshooting
- Some planes remain visible: A component rule or design view representation may be overriding visibility.
- Operation is slow on large assemblies: This command touches every component in the hierarchy. Consider using Planes Off All (top-level only) when you don’t need nested components.
