Notes

• Only hybrid shapes (GSD features) are scanned — solid body features are not affected
• Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone — ensure the part is saved before running
• The geometric set structure itself is not modified; only individual deactivated shapes are removed
• Deactivated child geometric sets are not deleted — only deactivated shapes inside sets are targeted
