Description
The Mesh RemoveCompByHand command deletes components from mesh objects.
On the left a mesh object with two components, the cube component has been selected. On the right the result after deleting the cube.
Usage
- A component refers to a group of faces that are connected. Usually a mesh object will contain a single component. But, for example after using the Mesh Merge command, a mesh object can contain multiple components.
- The command uses the color red to mark selected components. To see these properly:
- The ViewDisplay Mode of the mesh objects should show faces. If necessary use the Std DrawStyle command to override this property.
- The ViewShape Color of the mesh objects should not be red.
- No mesh object should be selected (and therefore highlighted).
- Select the Remove components by hand... option from the menu.
- The cursor changes to a hand icon.
- Select the components you wish to delete.
- Optionally select Clear selected faces from the 3D view context menu to deselect all components.
- Select Delete selected faces from the 3D view context menu to delete the selected components.
- Select Leave removal mode from the 3D view context menu to end the command.
