Best way to scramble the B surface

NXsupport · Apr 22, 2019

Hi,

Iam curious if anyone has idea to scramble a B surface, so that if some wants to untrim it and see what it was a part of, then they will not be able to do that.

Currently if you have B surface and when untrim command is used, it shows the portion of the body it was made from.

Are you referring to a native NX file or neutral format?

If you trim a b-surface you can un-trim and thereby restore the original shape. This is because the shape and the trim are stored as separate equations / descriptions.
If you instead "snip" the surface, you will reformulate the foundation equation without the trimming description. ( Not all trimming operations are possible, and there is also a chance that you get shape change.)
But; if successful you cannot restore the original shape.

Regards,
Tomas

If this doesn't affect anything and you are trying to hide underlying geometry, try delete face without heal, then use fill surface as a replacement.
