Delete a face
The Delete function allows you to delete inappropriate faces from imported face parts. Use the Insert function to create a new face instead.
This Delete function also works on the faces of solid parts. Deleting a face of a solid part will convert the solid part into a face part.
The Delete function in the Modify 3D menu provides a safer method for deleting. It does not allow you, for example, to corrupt a solid part by deleting single faces.
To delete a face from a face part,
1. Click 3D Geometry and then, in the 3D Surface Tools group, click Delete Face.
2. Specify the face to delete.
