Remove faulty edges from fillet edge selection

Remove faulty edges from fillet edge selection

Remove faulty edges from fillet edge selection

(OP)
Hi Guys,

I love the new way of SW showing a ghost preview of failed edges in a Fillet feature. In this special case, I have large casting model. I have run into peculiar situation. One of the fillet feature has a very huge number of edges (800+) selected. Its one of the final fillet feature given generally at the end of the model.
I have modified a little boss feature and the fillet I talked about is now failing. When editing the fillet feature, it shows a ghostly red lines for the failed edges.

All I want to do is to deselect (remove) the failed edges from the list. Since I have 800+ edges in the list and the EDGE LISTING WINDOW cant be expanded, is there a way I can deselect (remove) only the failed edges.

I dont want to reselect 800+ edges.

Thanks in advance.

Can you not de-select from the graphics area?

I have tried clicking on the ghostly lines, They aren't selectable. When I try doing that, a face get selected instead.

I need to learn a easier way of doing this.

I would also look at how the edges are being selected. It might be better to have more fillet features in the tree, with (much) fewer selections in the fillet features.

RE: Remove faulty edges from fillet edge selection

Try suppressing the fillet feature, then while it is suppressed, right click and edit the feature.  It should remove the invalid edges that way, instead of just putting **Missing**Edge in the list.
