Deleting surfaces in imported geo

[ilmegor]

HI everybody,


I'm trying to adjust some bad geometry imported from an IGES file. The part is quite alright but there are some surfaces (bad ones)I cannot delete. I would like to do that.


I tried to make a copygeom on another .prtfile excluding the surfaces i do not want (also making the part independent) I can see the "correct"model (without the "bad" surface) in the window but when it regenerates it gives me an error "overlapping geometry" asking to resolve it! What can I do?


Thanks

Edit Def, menu: Edit Delete (it's a verb/noun command; e.g. you have to start the command then select surfs).

You can also put the junk surfs on a layer and blank along with dis-associating them from the import quilt (Feature Properties, Exclude I believe).

..... afterthought: Excluding is a little quirky if I remember correctly. If it doesn't seem to work; Geometry, Heal, Manual, Edit Bndry, Done might help.
