Thanks pk89 #2 Remove faces, works just great

The solid is already in 2 pieces. I don't know why the 2 pieces look disconnected, but act like the same body. I have included a picture to explain my problem a little further. The smaller piece at the bottom needs to be deleted or hidden somehow.

How do you isolate the 2 parts after an assembly remove? I have a rectangular extruded pad, sitting on a thin circular dish, and I did the assembly remove, and it took out a circular arc of material = the thickness of the dish from the rectangular pad. Now I have 2 pieces that are separate, but...

How do you skip one particular object in a circular pattern? I made an object at the 6 o'clock position, and then I made 8 instances at 45 deg, so I got objects at the 12, 1.30, 3,4.30,6, 7.30, 9, and 10.30 o'clock positions. I want to eliminate the 12 o'clock object. I looked at the "more"...

I am in mechanical design/assembly

There is one option in Catia where you can cut a body along a line or plane, and see one half, and when you move the cutting line/plane up or down, the cut section grows or diminishes. I hve used this b4, but can't remember how to turn it on. Can somebody please help, Thanks

Has anybody had the update function vanish after a change? I changed one dimension, then exited the sketch, the part turned red, and then I looked for the little blueish update whirlwind thingy symbol in my bottom left corner of the bottom toolbar, and it was gone! I also looked in the pull down...

left mouse down, drag a rectangle and release left mouse...... everything becomes orange. left click+ctrl on particular part called cylinder.Catpart, then hit hide/show icon at bottom toolbar, everything disappears, including cylinder

Have you tried this? The reason why I ask, is because it does not work for me.

How do you pick on a component and Hide everything else?

Insert/Assy Features/Split When I put a split in the above way, the wrong side disappears. How do I change what catia keeps and what it throws away? I want to keep what is presently deleted, and I want to delete the other side

Thanks Guys Please tell me how to isolate the back component. I am a beginner, so please give me some step by step details. Thanks

Hello, I have an assembly with many components. I have used one (same) component twice in 2 different places, one in the front, and once more at the back. Now I put an assembly remove operation, where I am removing anothr body from the component in the back only, but I get this remove part...

Hello, In very simple terms, what is the difference between a CatProduct and a CatPart? If I am designing an internal combustion engine, then is the engine the CatProduct and the piston, crankshaft etc are they CatParts?

Can somebody please give me a link to a good basic level tutorial on parameters.I am designing a cylindrical tank, and I want the radius or diameter of the tank to be a parameter, so I can easily make the cylinder radius or diameter change along with all its mating parts large or small
