Imported surface

Imported surface

Imported surface

(OP)
can the planes in a imported surface be relocated. If so then how?

Thanks

RE: Imported surface

Can you elaborate your question?  Is the imported surface a "dumb" surface body, or is it a native surface body in SW?  Also, you say "Planes", do you mean true SolidWorks planes, or do you mean actual surface segment?  When you import a "dumb" surface body, you won't be able to see the planes.

RE: Imported surface

You should be able to use the Move/Copy Bodies tool in SW to move the surface where you want it to be (in Features toolbar--you'll probably have to add it to your default tool bar to see it).

RE: Imported surface

You cannot move the planes ... but you should be able to move/relocate the surface using the Copy/Move function.

& all the best.
