What is used to control the visibility and selectability of objects?

Layer Settings are crucial in controlling the visibility and selectability of objects within Siemens NX. By organizing objects into different layers, users can easily manage what is displayed on the screen and what remains hidden. This segmentation allows for a clean workspace, enabling designers and engineers to focus on specific components of their model without distractions.

When a layer is turned off, all objects associated with that layer become invisible, making it easy to eliminate clutter in complex designs. Additionally, layer settings provide options to lock layers, preventing any modifications to objects on that layer, which ensures that the integrity of critical components is maintained while working on other parts of the design. This functionality enhances workflow efficiency, especially in detailed assemblies where different elements might need to be isolated for editing or inspection.

The other options, while relevant in the context of working with objects, do not primarily address visibility and selectability in the same manner as Layer Settings do. Object Information provides details about the properties of objects, Rendering Style impacts how objects visually appear in terms of textures and shading, and Object Status may indicate whether an object is active or inactive but does not directly control visibility or selectability. Hence, Layer Settings emerge as the most effective tool for managing the visibility and selectability of objects.
