Remove Entity by Size (Legacy)



Used to simplify SmartSolids by removing unwanted detail based on predetermined sizes. Removing details deemed unnecessary to a design's location or connections such as small blends, holes, and planar facets has benefits:

  • Reduced model size means less data to process
  • There is a reduced amount of clutter in drawings
Note: The Remove Entity by Size tool is not intended to work with B-Spline Surfaces. Also, SmartSolids must be selected individually when using this tool. Fence contents and selection sets are not supported.


SettingDescription
Blends Radius When on, all blends (fillets) sized less than or equal to the entered radius value are removed.
Holes Diameter When on, all round holes sized less than or equal to the entered diameter value are removed.
Note: Elliptical and rectangular holes are not considered holes, and are not removed.
Faces Area When on, all planar faces sized less than or equal to the entered area value are removed.
Note: If the removal of a face results in an invalid solid, the face is not removed.
