Greetings all!

I discovered that it is not possible to perform Assembly Cut on the deformable component in the assembly. Neither it is possible to create WAVE link or promote a body of it. I'm effectively stuch not being able to subtract a material from a deformed component. Is it possible to do at all? Is there a workaround?

Note: this is a real task for the job, not a 'what if' scenario.
 
I just tried it from scratch in 8.5.1.3, New parts.
same status as Printscaffold. No go.

But, i found a workaround.

Instance Geometry - Translate ( Any direction) distance=0, number of copies=1.
The result should be quite similar to what Extract geometry should produce.

Regards,
Tomas
