Many thanks for the answer, which apparently confirms that adding and
suppressing is the only way.

Now perhaps I'll have some problems with mates, since other parts of the
model should mate to these varying parts; I hope SW will accept and ignore
any mate to a suppressed part, but I've not yet tried it.
