Delete split body

[BCAdair]

Pardon me if this is mentioned somewhere else in the forums, but I have an issue with a workflow that I am sure I have used before.  After splitting a body by using the face of an intersecting body, I cannot delete one of the newly created bodies.  Instead Fusion deletes the split feature and reverts to a single body.  See the screencast:

Hello,

this looks like a defect, we are going to investigate it and fix.

At the moment I would suggest to use hide body in browser.

Thanks for looking into it.

What you are seeing is the difference between Hard delete and Soft delete. Now known as Delete and Remove.

Delete = upstream deletion of all history of the thing you are deleting. This can cause downstream dependencies to get sick because you are truly deleting the object from the history.

Remove = downstream deletion of the object. This allows the object to stay in history for some time, it has references that persist, and "removal" is a timeline entry when you do it.

I hope this helps!
