In the Input parameters section of the dialog, select the entities you would like to delete.
In the Selection options section of the dialog, decide whether you would like to use filtering.
Note: Many of the mesh tools involve selecting or manipulating nodes. Ensure that the nodes in the part are visible and selectable by activating the required layers in the Layers pane.
Tip: If you manually enter the entity to delete, you must also enter the entity ID. For example, if you want to delete node 400, enter N400 into the box and click Apply.
Note: Body faces or bodies of a CAD assembly cannot be deleted independently.
Dialog elements
- Entities to delete
- Specifies the mesh entities to be deleted from the model.
Select the required entities with the mouse cursor, and then click Apply.
Important: If you delete a section of a 3D mesh, you may not be able to remesh.
- Create as
- Allows you to simultaneously create a modeling entity and assign properties to it.
For example
- You can create a curve and assign runner properties to it.
- You can create a region and assign part surface properties to it.
In some cases you have the option to Create as modeling entity. No properties will be assigned. This option may be appropriate if, for example, you are creating curves to construct a region. You must assign properties to the region, but you don't need to assign properties to the curves.
Tip: To change the properties of an entity, click Change.
- Filter
- The filter helps you select a desired model or mesh entity. When you use a filter, the pointer will snap to the specified entity.
