Removing Additional Models from 3D Scene

The Remove Model button on the Model TGV toolbar enables end users to modify a digital mockup by removing additional 3D CAD models from a single 3D CAD scene with a context 3D CAD model. For the digital mockup details, see the Digital Mockup section.

A context 3D CAD model is a 3D CAD model on a 3D scene shown from a CAD Document of this model.

An additional 3D CAD model is a 3D CAD model on a 3D scene shown from a CAD Document of another model present on this scene.

The context 3D CAD model cannot be removed from the 3D scene: the Remove Model button is disabled when the context 3D CAD model assembly, its subassembly, or part is selected.

The Remove Model button is also disabled when no assemblies, subassemblies, or parts are selected. It becomes enabled only when an additional assembly, subassembly, or part is selected.

To remove an additional 3D CAD model of an assembly, subassembly, or part from a context 3D CAD model of an assembly or subassembly shown in the Dynamic/Streaming Viewer:

  1. Select the 3D CAD model or CAD Document of the additional assembly, subassembly, or part to be deleted from the 3D scene.
  2. Click the Remove Model button on the Model TGV toolbar. The Dynamic/Streaming Viewer and its Model TGV browser are refreshed. The context 3D CAD model keeps its position and orientation. The 3D CAD model of the deleted assembly, subassembly, or part disappears from the 3D scene. The CAD Document of the deleted assembly, subassembly, or part disappears from the Model TGV grid.
  3. Warning
    Be careful when clicking the Remove Model button because there is no warning or prompt to confirm the removal. An unsaved 3D scene view will be lost, and it will not be possible to restore it.
