Remove Details

Use Remove Details to remove recognized fillets, chamfers or custom-selected faces. These detailed edges add complexity in Revit and will not display correctly.

You must have one or more solid bodies in the file to use the tool.

On the ribbon:
- In a part (.ipt) file: Environment tab Begin panel Recognize Revit Features
- In a part (.ipt) file: BIM tab BIM Ready Content panel, select Recognize Revit Features
- In the Recognize Revit Features dialog box, specify whether you want to preserve the Inventor features already recognized by Revit or whether you want to convert them back to base solids, and then select OK to continue.
  If you choose to preserve the Inventor features already recognized by Revit, these features will be saved and hidden as you continue to recognize Revit features from the remaining base solid geometry.
  
  If you choose to convert Inventor features already recognized by Revit back to base solids you will no longer have any features that are recognized by Revit. Choose this option if you need to start over. For example, if you have created Inventor features and are having difficulty getting them translated to Revit (for example, Check Revit Features reports errors), you can create a base solid and recognize new Revit features.
- In the Recognize Revit Features tab Simplify panel, select Remove Details.
  Note: To access in an assembly file you must first create a simplified part using the commands in the Simplify tab Simplify panel. When you create a simplified part, the part will be opened in the newly created part (.ipt) file.
Specify the geometric recognition options. By default, both fillet and chamfer are selected.
Select faces to be removed from the model. The selected face visibility is temporarily shaded.
Note: The Auto Select feature selects fillets and chamfers automatically.
Click the plus sign to apply the change and continue removing details.
Click to finish.
