How to stop automatic creation of geometric set in part design?
Whenever offsetting a plane, the plane is created in a new geometric set. How to stop this and create the offset plane in the part body itself?

I you want wireframe in the partbody you have to enable the hybriddesign. Here you can " mix" wireframe and volumes.
Geometrical sets will give your wireframe structure. Many companies do not allow hybriddesign, so you should think twice, if you want to use this modeling strategie.
Best regards
Chris Shakal 16 Jan, 2013 09:08 PM Just curious, why don't some companies allow hybrid design?
G15 17 Jan, 2013 08:06 AM In germany most (all?) OEMs (Audi, Airbus, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, VW,....here I know) don´t use hybrid design. More, it is forbidden!
I think one reason is, that they use very detailed start-models with given structure. The hybrid design maybe chrashes this structure.
Another reason is (maybe) that in the past they uses V3, V4 ... working there was different and more like "Non hybrid design..."best regards

as u start new file in catia , it asks ---create Geometric set-just uncheck that box
Vinoth Ravichandran 17 Jan, 2013 07:35 AM i ll always uncheck the check box.. but this still happens..
this is what happens when i try to offset a plane... while starting the part design, create geometrical set was unchecked.. i also disabled create a geometrical set in infrastructure options.. but still this happens...
G15 17 Jan, 2013 08:47 PM And... Do you enable hybrid design?
Vinoth Ravichandran 18 Jan, 2013 06:30 AM No.. Hybrid design is disabled..
Vinoth Ravichandran 18 Jan, 2013 12:24 PM the geometrical set creates automatically.. this thing happens only now.. when i open an old catpart file (which i have already designed) and create a offset plane, the geometrical set is not created instead the plane comes under the part body itself..
Vinoth Ravichandran 18 Jan, 2013 12:27 PM if i open a new part document (both hybrid design and geometrical set disabled) and create a offset plane, the plane is created in a new geometrical set(as shown in the added image).
