Planes in STEP imports
Planes in STEP imports
(OP)
Hi Everyone
I am working with several files imported from Microstation in STEP format.
The 3D geometry is fine, but along with it, I am getting a number of datum planes as well. Some of them have been useful for me, but most of them don't do anything for me other than clutter up my screen.
Is there a way to hide these datum planes without hiding the imported feature?
TIA

NB The rule criteria (in case anyone has to do this in the future) were:
Look For--> Datum Plane
Look By--> Feature
Criteria--> Status, Parent/Child, Is Child of, <import feature>
Thanks Heckler.. It's been a while since I've used Pro/E & now I'm easing back into it.

This is a very rare situation seeing you asking questions. We almost see you answering to our questions. So it will be for me a big pleasure trying to help.
Heckler answer is OK for me too, but I have another solution fo you. In 2001 go to MODIFY->FEATURE-> select the feature -> HEAL GEOMETRY -> DELETE -> keep checked DATUM PLANES-> delete them.
In WF it shoul be similar, but without right menus.
Have a nice day!

This past winter I have been broadening my engineering skills, and that's taken me out of the Pro/E loop for a while. Now I'm on a (few) new project(s) and wearing my pro/e hat again
I thought of redefining the import feature at first, but in WF2 the heal geometry menu (still a right handed menu) does not have a delete command. hmm
