model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).defeaturing("DeleteSpikes").delete(<ftag>) creates a DeleteSpikes feature tagged <ftag> with the specified properties. The property delete is set to selected. If the feature can be built, it is inserted in the geometry sequence after the current feature; otherwise, the feature is discarded.

 model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).defeaturing("DeleteSpikes").deleteAll(<ftag>) works as the delete method, but the property delete is set to all.

It is also possible to create a DeleteSpikes feature using the standard create method. The following properties are available.

 model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).find() searches the input objects for spikes of width less than entsize.

 model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).detail() returns a selection object where you can select a subset of the spikes found.

The find and detail methods of  model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).defeaturing("Spikes") have the corresponding functionality for the defeaturing tool.

Only spikes that can be deleted without invalidating the object are deleted. If a spike was not possible to delete, a warning message is given, accessible through  model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).problem().

The following example imports the geometry model from the file defeaturing_demo_7.x_b, finds all spikes narrower than 10−4, and deletes the first of these.
