help deleting cut body

[kevinfirchow]

Hello

I have multiple intersecting bodies.  During the layout I would use the "combine" then "cut" operation to achieve a profiled cut around the intersecting body.  Now when I go to delete what would bee the un needed part, I get a message telling me that a body downstream will also be deleted.  See below photos.  Also note I have attempted to use the split body tool with no success.

Delete will do that, use Remove to do what you want.

Might help…

Expanding on what @davebYYPCU wrote with an illustration, right click Remove...

Hi! Without seeing the actual design, I can only speculate. I think you may want to use Boundary Fill to remove the unwanted portion. There is no need to delete any solid body in this case.

Many thanks!
