Interior components - How does it work? And from which version?

I found this under

"Interior components - No interior components (Use advanced select using the property Part is interior detail -- SW Special) "



We manually simplify our current large assemblies by making configurations of the subassemblies where we simplify (suppres components you dont see anyways and/or make less detailed parts by supressing rendering, chamfers gravure etc.)



Cand this Interior Component feature do the same? I have been searching all my toolbars, menues, help atc. but I cant find anything about it...



We are running SW2007 SP5.0



Can anyone explain how it works and if it works well? And also add if it is present in SW2007 or if its a new feature in SW2008.



Thanks in advance

Ronni, I believe this tip is saying you have to manually create a configuration without interior components, but they suggest using the "advanced select" to be able to graphically select component from the interior of your assembly and then either suppress or delete them from the configuration. There is no "Interior Component Feature" button, although that would be a good candidate for an enhancement request.

So basically it is just another way of doing what we are doing already, just with different commands :S

A shame it could have some potential.
