Remove Feature
 
Use the Remove feature to remove geometry without disturbing the feature history. It allows you to modify existing imported geometry or delete some geometry from a part (not necessarily formed by a single feature) without having to reroute and refine a number of features.
You can select one of the following items for removal:
• Surfaces, surface sets, or intent surfaces
• One closed loop chain of one-sided edges from a single quilt
Geometry removal results in neighboring surfaces being extended or trimmed to converge and close the void. The extended geometry is attached as a solid or surface to the selected surfaces. In case of a one-sided edge chain selected as the reference, the extended geometry can be attached to the selected quilt, or created as a new quilt.
You can exclude contours in multi-contour surfaces from being removed. For periodic features separated by artificial edges (for example, extruded cylinders or revolved features), the feature internally references all the surfaces, even if one of them is selected.
Note:
 
• All surfaces that are extended or trimmed must be adjacent to the boundary defined by references.
• If an adjacent surface does not need to be extended, it will not be copied.
• Surfaces that are to be extended must be extendable.
• Extended surfaces must converge to form a defined volume.
• No new patches are created when the surfaces are extended.
• If the modified geometry cannot be attached as a solid, it can be manually attached as a quilt.
• Feature operations such as Suppress, Delete, Redefine, Reroute, Copy/Paste, and Pattern (limited to reference pattern if patterning by itself) are supported.
• Transformation of this feature by itself is not applicable and allowed.
