To delete geometry objects or geometric entities from objects, right-click a geometry and select Delete Entities (
). Then enter the properties of the delete operation in the
Input section. If you delete objects corresponding to primitive features these nodes disappear from the sequence. If you delete other objects or if you delete geometric entities a Delete Entities node appears in the sequence.
From the Geometric entity level list, choose the level of the entities to delete:
Object,
Domain,
Boundary (that is, faces in 3D and edges in 2D),
Edge (3D only), or
Point. Then select the objects or entities that you want to delete in the
Graphics window or use the
Selection List window. The objects appear in the
Selection list when you have confirmed (locked) the selection in the
Graphics window. If the geometry sequence includes user-defined selections above the
Delete Entities node, choose
Manual to select objects or entities, or choose one of the selection nodes from the list next to
Selection.
Select the Resulting objects selection check box to create predefined selections (for all levels — objects, domains, boundaries, edges, and points — that are applicable) in subsequent nodes in the geometry sequence. To also make all or one of the types of resulting entities (domains, boundaries, edges, and points) that the resulting objects consist of available as selections in all applicable selection lists (in physics and materials settings, for example), choose an option from the
Show in physics (
Show in instances if in a geometry part;
Show in 3D in a plane geometry under a work plane in a 3D component) list:
All levels,
Domain selection,
Boundary selection,
Edge selection, or
Point selection. The default is
Domain selection, which is suitable for use with materials and physics defined in domains. For use with a boundary condition, for example, choose
Boundary selection. These selections do not appear as separate selection nodes in the model tree. Select
Off to not make any selection available outside of the geometry sequence. From the
Color list, choose a color for highlighting the resulting objects selection. See
Selection Colors.
