Hi, I'm a novice in the 3d modelling world, but I can usually work most things out as I go. This one has me stumped though.
The problem I have is I'd like to 3d print just the vane from an existing impeller STEP file. I can't for the life of me work out the easiest way of doing this? Effectively I need to remove all of the shroud and just be left with the vanes by themselves. Any advice would be most appreciated, or point me in the direction of a video that explains something similar.

Delete the faces you don't need, and then close over the gaps, as required.
Might help...
Thanks, I have tried doing that, but I keep getting an error message saying that the selected face/s can't be deleted.
We will need your fusion file to advise further .,,.
File > Export and attach to another message.
Ok, Select Do not Capture Design history, (Right click file name > bottom of Menu)
Move to Surface area,
Unstitch the model,
Delete the surfaces that you don't want
Deselect any chaining boxes....
I then patched the end plate, and the top and bottom openings.
Might help....
