Isolate geometry from it's reference?
Isolate geometry from it's reference?
(OP)
Hello,
if I am in a sketch and I have projected some edges of 3D solids into it (the 3D solids could be from the same part, or from other parts - if I am working in an assemly), or if I'm just creating a plane in my part, based (referenced) on a solid planar surface from another part in assy, well, in all these cases, how can I isolate my geometry from the references (break the link to the reference)?
Thanks in advance for any answer!

to do the plane reference removal.......
Create the plane on the surface or edge....... then create a 3D sketch with 2 line in L shape & pierce all three points thru the given plane. Now delete these relations without moving the points. exit the 3d sketch & hold & drag it in feature tree before the plane. Now edit the plane reference & select the points of the given 3D sketch.
Hope it helped.

Concerning the plane reference removal, would there be another solution for that, a more "direct" one, like the one for the 2d Sketch?

It would be helpful if you can tell us what you want to achieve by removing references.

Maybe somebody could tell me what is the "best practice" in this case?
