Display of Inactive Objects

Provide an option to allow the model displayed in the Post Processing workflow to be adjusted and have all objects that have been inactivated removed from the view. This would be a load case dependant attribute, which means that if a set of members/elements have been made inactive in one set of load cases, say in load cases 1 to 10, which are followed by an analysis command followed by CHANGE command (which reactivates these objects), say load cases 11 to 20. This means that the option would display effectively a different model when viewing load cases 1 to 10 to that displayed with load cases 11 to 20.

An alternative option would be to display the inactive members but with a different line type such as a dashed line in load cases where they are inactive.

If you want to vote for this idea, please add a comment to say which method you think would work better for you i.e. removing inactive members or retaining them but displaying them with a dashed line.
