Built-in Metamodel Diagram View
The 'New Diagram' dialog includes a number of different Views that offer different palette sets and focus goals for diagram types such as UML, SysML, BPMN and UAF, amongst others. As an example, if you have the goal of modeling a simple SysML Block Definition diagram with no advanced features, the 'Basic Blocks View' under the 'SysML 1.5 Block Definition Diagram' section might be a better option than using the full Block Definition diagram set. This example is used to provide values in the procedures in this topic.

Selecting the ' to Metamodel' option in the Properties window will gray out any elements that are not part of the current diagram View set. This allows you to correct any parts of your model that don't meet the purpose of the selected View, or to filter out elements that might be required to be there, but do not form part of the current modeling goal.
