Use model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"Delete") to delete geometric entities.

Use model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).selection("input") to select the entities to delete. To set the selection level for the selection object, and to select the input entities see Geometry Object Selection Methods.

The default selection is empty.

Table 3-62: Valid Property/Value Pairs

Vertices, edges, faces, domains, or objects to delete.

color

none | custom | integer between 1 and the number of colors in the current theme

none

The color of the selection, either given as an integer indicating a color in the color theme, or as a custom color in the customcolor property. Coloring is only available when selresult in active.

4.2a | 4.3

Next available theme color

The color to use. Active when color is set to custom.

selresult

on | off

off

Create selections of all resulting objects.

selresultshow

all | obj | dom | bnd | edg | pnt | off

dom

Show selections, if selresult is on, in physics, materials, and so on; in part instances; or in 3D from a plane geometry. obj is not available in a component’s geometry. dom, bnd, and edg are not available in all features.

contributeto

String

none

Tag of cumulative selection to contribute to.

Deleting a domain, face, or edge automatically deletes all lower-dimensional adjacent entities, except those needed to bound surviving entities.

In 2D and 3D, vertices that are adjacent to an edge cannot be deleted.

In 3D, an edge can be deleted if it has no adjacent faces, or if it is interior to a face.

For information about the selresult and contributeto properties, see Selections of Geometric Entities.

The following attributes are available:

Table 3-63: Valid attributes
Name	Value	Default	Description
construction	on \| off \| inherit	inherit	Designate the resulting objects as construction geometry. Use inherit to set the construction geometry attribute only if all input objects are construction geometry.

Table 3-63: Valid attributes

on | off | inherit

Designate the resulting objects as construction geometry. Use inherit to set the construction geometry attribute only if all input objects are construction geometry.

In version 4.3, the algorithm was changed slightly. The main difference is that the old algorithm preserved the object type for solid, surface, and curve objects. To get the old behavior, set compat to 4.2a.

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"del") creates a Delete feature.
