Hello
I created median surfaces from a volume body, and I need to remove the main body and keep only the surface, and so once I delete the main body the neutral plane is also deleted 'which is logical' , do you have an idea how to do it? I don't know if I can break the link between the main body and the created surfaces?
Thank you
Use the function: Corp/delete instead of deleting your function
@Mick, I was going to propose this solution but after testing on my workstation, it also removes the associated midplane
[Edit] you're right, insert -> function -> Delete body
Hello
in the volume of your room you right-click on the volume you want to remove and you click on delete/Keep bodies and it will delete with this function without imputing your surfaces.
See screenshot
I did it on my workstation without it removing the surface body, see attachment.
I may not have understood...
It's Friday afternoon, a little indulgence for Aurélien. Indeed Mick's solution works!
;-)
I put Up thumbs everywhere:) So much for me! Mea culpa!
thank you for your answers,
I was a little unclear, by the way my part is drawn in a single part 'see capture' and so I can't delete the functions from which I extracted the middle surface.
Even by doing "insert -> function -> Delete body" and clicking on the surfaces of the bodies to be deleted directly in the 3D?
So it's good as indicated, we have to remove the body and not the function.
By right-clicking on the volume to be "deleted", click on the function indicated in green in the attached image.
Edit: you should see in your tree a "Body-Remove/Keep" function as illustrated by @Mick above.
Congratulations @ all
I didn't understand the question
and even with the additional response from @kelfalid
so maybe that's the cause of Friday ;-)
Ah it works, thank you very much to all of you :D,
I want to do a surface calculation of the chassis, I don't know if the appearance of the functions in the tree will impact the results? ' I may think my question is a bit silly but it's the first time I've done this xD
Re
Same principle. I'll try to keep it as simple as possible.
You right-click on the volume body you want to remove on the CAD.
You press the down arrow to expand the drop-down menu
You click on delete/keep body (in the type tab check delete) and logically your body will disappear.
See screenshot
ummm, it didn't work for me, the functions always appear! :/
Sorry guys , for that too much questions
It's normal for functions to appear, and fortunately, it allows you to re-edit the functions, if you don't want them to appear anymore, you can export in parasolid and re-import for example, but I don't really see the use
Indeed, the functions will not be deleted, it only removes the volume body while keeping your design history.
In no case can you delete a "parent" function without deleting the "child" as it calls it on solidworks.
From the moment you create a function dependent on a field or a function that is part of this body, you will necessarily delete the functions that result from it.
In this case, you can tinker, by creating your median plane with a sketch in function => reference geometry = > plane
You create it just before your middle plane and then you ask that the next sketches refer to this new plane.
To do this, you right-click on a sketch that refers to the median lan, you right-click, you press "edit sketch plane" and you select your new plan.
Depending on the number of sketches that depend on this plan it can be long but at least you can delete everything that is before in your history.
