Different color icons

The icons under the Geometry node have different colors. One part node is blue, while others appear green. What's the difference and what applications are they used for?

Thanks.

Sorry for the late answer.

Blue part icons are CAD parts, which originate from native CAD and neutral format CAD data.

Green part icons are mesh parts that originate from surface mesh data such as STL, NASTRAN, and PATRAN.

Blue/green icons represent composite parts (assemblies).

For more info, check the user guide.
