Deleate Useless Elements

Deleate Useless Elements

Deleate Useless Elements

(OP)
Good Morning,

We use delete useless elements quite a lot to clean up our parts.  Sometimes we have geometry in our parts to help with assembly constraints.  Like suspension pick up points for instance.  We will often drop these into our model parts as dumb geometry.

When we delete useless elements it obviously deletes these.  If the user remembers he will de-select them, so they are not removed, but this is not always done.

My question is, is there any way to protect elements so they cant be deleated? Almost like a protect feature?

Many Thanks,

Mechanicalman

RE: Deleate Useless Elements

Seeing as you are using these for external references it would make sense to publish them. this will improve link stability and make it easier for users to select these elements as alements to keep
