Removing features from Model Imported from Solidworks

[mkilloran38SZU]

Hello. I have a model that was imported from SolidWorks, and I need to remove 2 chamfers from the model. I was wondering how to do it. When I go into Design and try Remove, it will only highlight the whole model. It's a model made by the engineers and they made these changes after I made the prototype. I don't want to have to do all the setups again if it can be helped.

It's under Setup2, the chamfer at the bottom of the threads and the one close to it on the major OD

Thank you

Hi

Just select the chamfer faces and press the delete key

You have saved me again. Thank you. Out of curiosity, do you know why when I select the Remove option under Modify, it will only let me select the whole body?

Sometimes you have downstream or other features that you want to preserve. 

Delete would eliminate these features, while Remove creates a Timeline node that you can return to and also does not cause downstream features to "go sick".

it's weird...  Remove and Delete do two different things.  See:  what-is-the-difference-between-delete-and-remove-a-component  for a complete discussion.  Remove creates a timeline item that removes a body or component from the design, so it only can act on those objects.  Delete can apply to anything.
