Removing Volumes

You can remove a volume from another volume.

Before you begin: Create a 3D shape containing 2 geometrical sets or ordered geometrical sets, with a volume in each set.

This is your initial data, the Remove representation is composed of two geometrical sets:

Operation on volumes, such as removing, sometimes result in geometrical instabilities
  1. From the Volume section of the action bar, click Remove .
  2. In the Base object box, select the volume to remove.
  3. In the Removed operand box, select the volume from which it is removed.
  4. In the After box, select a destination body after which the removed volume will be located.
    If the geometrical feature set is current, the After box is valuated with the current body and will be located after its last feature.
  5. Click Preview to visualize the removed volume.
  6. Click OK.

    The operation (identified as Remove.xxx) is added to the tree. The tree and the Remove part now look like this:



    Notes:
    • You can edit a Remove feature and modify the destination volume. To do so, simply double-click the feature in the tree and select a new volume in the Removed operand box.
    • Multi-selection is not possible.
