Cannot delete duplicate surfaces

Hello @lanwujiu,

Greetings!!!

Whenever I face the similar situation like yours- I try to create a new component, and then duplicate all the displayed surfaces into the new component.

Next, turn off the geometry of old component. And since, new component - has only surfaces- you can easily delete  the surfaces which you would like to.

Let us know, it it works, and if you find a better solution - do share with us - as there are multiple ways to address this.

Thanks & Warm Regards,

Hi, thank you for your advice. Your method works! But I am a little confused now. I was making 2d mesh but I selected the surfaces by geometry, which refer to the solid. So should I select the surface one by one now?

Hi lanwujiu

Yes you need to select one by one. Instead you can use surface displayed or all option.

Thank you

If you have trouble with solid geometry, you can simply delete it but retain bounding surfaces.

Make sure that deleting bounding surfaces is UNCHECKED before you delete the solid.
