Neglect Components in Model Analysis

Hi all,





I have a feature (BMX) at the end of my assembly model tree that calculates the average density and the mass of the whole assembly. Is it possible to negelct certain components? For example, parts that are shown for illustration purpose only in the drawingend up being taken into account for the mass properties. I suppose I could use family tables to neglect parts, but this then gives me a problem if those parts to be neglected have children. Has anyone come accross this problem before?





Thanks in advance,


Phil
