Function
- 'Activities' displays only the defined parts of the entire model on the screen.
- When dealing with complex large-scale models, using this function to display only the partial model on the screen and work on it can be very efficient.
- All data entries and modifications are possible only for active nodes and elements.
- While creating nodes and elements, if Intersect or Merge Duplicate Nodes is designated, the function is in effect even for the currently inactive nodes and elements as well.
