"""This method suppresses features. Suppressing a feature is equivalent to temporarily
removing the feature from the part or assembly. Suppressed features remain suppressed
when you regenerate a part or assembly. You cannot suppress the base feature. In
addition, if you suppress a parent feature, all of its child features are also
suppressed automatically. Suppressed features can be restored with the resume command.
