This is useful, for example, if you have a mesh with two components, and you want to extract a single component to convert it to a solid, as in the case below where a cube houses another cube.

#* The {{PropertyView|Shape Color}} of the mesh objects should not be red.
#* No mesh object should be selected (and therefore highlighted).
# Select the {{MenuCommand|Remove components by hand...}} option from the menu.
# The cursor changes to a hand icon.
# Select the components you wish to delete.
# Optionally select {{MenuCommand|Clear selected faces}} from the [[3D_view|3D view]] context menu to deselect all components.
# Select {{MenuCommand|Delete selected faces}} from the 3D view context menu to delete the selected components.
# Select {{MenuCommand|Leave removal mode}} from the 3D view context menu to end the command.


==Usage== <!--T:14-->


<!--T:3-->
#Choose {{KEY| Meshes}} → {{KEY| Remove components by hand...}} from the top menu.
#Select component(s) in the [[3D view]]. Selected components are shown in red.
Right-click in the [[3D view]] will give you the possibility to
* Leave removal mode
* Delete selected faces
* Clear selected faces

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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).
  3. Select the Remove components by hand... option from the menu.
  4. The cursor changes to a hand icon.
  5. Select the components you wish to delete.
  6. Optionally select Clear selected faces from the 3D view context menu to deselect all components.
  7. Select Delete selected faces from the 3D view context menu to delete the selected components.
  8. Select Leave removal mode from the 3D view context menu to end the command.
