Export only visible parts from an assembly?

Is there an easy way of exporting only visible parts from an assembly? I received an assembly with a lot of subassemblies with a lot of subassemblies with some hidden parts. I will take me a lot of time to find every hidden part in every sub-sub-subassembly and exclude them individually in the STEP export dialog.

    Assuming you're using Creo Parametric, you can add the config option intf_out_blanked_entities no.  With this set to 'no' only the items that are visible on the screen will be exported.

      I have a similar problem, but with parts. The stepfile includes many surfaces that are hidden in the part, and should not be exported.

      However, the option to exclude these hidden surfaces is greyed out:

      How can I exclude these hidden surfaces from my STEP-export?

      You can Enable the Annotations and Disable the Hidden Entities by using an export profile.

       

      Then edit the .dep_step profile file and set the Hidden Enitites to zero:

                  <profile_options_xar__ENTRY id_="Hidden entities" pointer="TRUE">
                      <value___PO__b__PC__>0</value___PO__b__PC__>
