Sheet To Solid - Large Entity Count Question

Sheet To Solid - Large Entity Count Question

Sheet To Solid - Large Entity Count Question

(OP)
I received an assembly with over 70,000 entities.  These entities were sheet faces, which I sewed them.  Then, I remove the sewn feature to create a non-parametric solid.  Now, in my ANT, the number of bodies went from 70,000 to 100.  But, when I do info and select all, I still get 70,000 entities.  My question is, is there a way to reduce the number of entities in the info command?  If so, how do you do it?

RE: Sheet To Solid - Large Entity Count Question

Make sure that your selection filter is set to 'Solid Body', otherwise you will be selecting all of the faces and edges of these bodies as well.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Thank you, John!  That clarified the count better.  I appreciate your input.
