To delete entities

Ensure that the nodes in the part are visible and selectable by activating the required layers in the Layers pane.

  1. Make visible all layers that contain entities you want to delete, and hide all layers that contain entities you don't want to delete.

    For example, if you want to delete triangles, but not surfaces, hide the layer that contains the model.

  2. Click (Mesh tab > Mesh Edit panel > Delete Entities).
  3. On the model, select the entities you want to delete, or if you know their ids, type them into the text box.
  4. Confirm the selection in the Entities to delete box.
  5. Click Apply.
Tip: If you type the entity into the Entities to delete box, instead of selecting it with the mouse, make sure you also enter the entity ID. For example, to delete node 400, type N400.
Note: Body faces or bodies of a CAD assembly cannot be deleted independently.
