i have created a component, and need to delete a face, but it says you cannot delete individual faces. Is there any way you can do this?

 

Thankyou

Select face, 

press Delete.

 

You will need to tell us why this does not work, linked component?

Is the body in a linked component - would explain it.

Is it a surface body?

Which face is to be deleted?

 

Better guesses are done when the file is checked out.

File > Export, and attach to another message.

No it is not a linked component, and it is a solid body. Would it help to have it as a surface body?

It is the face on the bottom that is to be deleted. 

here is the file:
