    Removing part of a body

    I recently had the door of a car scanned and auto surfaced. The file came in as one body (actually 7 bodies, but 6 of them are so small they are negligible) and I would like to remove part of the body. I have highlighted the area I would like to delete but do not know if it is possible on a...

    Cannot Open Large IGS

    Thanks @cowski for the response. I did have to download it, I downloaded it again thinking that could have been the issue. I can now start the igs import into UG now but in between the "Status 50%" etc etc lines there is a line in the command prompt that reads "Sheet body geometry problem...

    Multi Feature object from one solid body

    Thank you for the help! I have been playing around with this synchronous modeling. It appears to be able to do the job (although removing bends is difficult and usually gives errors.) It almost seems like the best way is to remove the face after the bend entirely then use one of the other...

    Multi Feature object from one solid body

    If I have a .prt with one solid body, is it possible to break it down to features and edit them? In the example picture below, I'd like to change some of the bends and cut of the part. If not, what is a good method to be able to take a solid body and edit it...
