Displaying Cage and Body Geometry

There are three options for displaying cage and body geometry in the NX Realize Shape task environment.

Cage and Body

This is the default display and most commonly used display mode.

Cage Only

Use the Cage Only display mode when you want to create the main structures of a shape without waiting for body display updates. The cage faces are shaded in this mode.

Body Only

Use the Body Only display mode when you want to do surface analysis of the resulting body without exiting the task environment. Due to the hidden control cage, editing is not possible in this mode.
