    The cut list shows two bodies:

    Body-Move/Copy1

    and Body-Move/Copy2

    Body-Move/Copy1 flattens and the second body is hidden.

  5. Right-click Body-Move/Copy1 again and click Exit Flatten to restore the body to its folded state.

    You can also click Exit Flatten in the Confirmation Corner.

    Both bodies are visible.

  6. Right-click Body-Move/Copy2 and click Isolate.

    Only Body-Move/Copy2 is visible.
