Rotate and remove original?

Is there a way to rotate a part and remove the original like we can with the mirror function?  Using the circular pattern doesn't give me the option to remove the original.  It can only create a new solid (leaving the original intact) or join it with the existing solid.

Hi

You have Direct Edit or Move Body commands at your disposal.

Thanks for the quick response.  Those look like manual editing tools.  I'm looking for something like the Mirror pattern that actually creates a feature I can turn on/off in iLogic.  Unless these can be used within iLogic?

Yes. Move/rotate are parametric commands.

Hi! Another option is to use Delete Face -> Lump -> select the body to remove the body geometry. Though the body definition will remain there, the geometry will be gone. Also, suppressing the Delete Face feature will restore the geometry.

Many thanks!
