Hi, is it possible to select surface which has elements/nodes associate with them? I want to see only surfaces without meshing, any ideas how to do it?

    Hi,

    For viewing the surfaces (not the mesh) you can click on the mesh icon as shown below. It will hide the mesh.

    all surfaces and elements are on 1 component. I want to hide surfaces with elements, surfaces without elements I want to keep. That is my issue.

    you can use  find attached option from find panel either from

    panel : tool -> find -> find attached 

    shortcut key : Shift+F5 

    with the below settings and select all the surfaces and click on find, it will list out all the elements which are associated to the surfaces.

    you can save them and retrive it from any panel through advanced selection menu
