Picking in the view

A click picks a body, and a second click on it picks the face or edge under the cursor. Resting the pointer on a body lights up the face first.

Pick modes

Key Picks
1 Faces only.
2 Bodies only.
3 A body, then its faces. This is the default.

The same choice is under Select, in the Appearance tab of the Views button.

  2. Shift+X shows edges only.

  3. Hold Shift to add to the selection.
  4. Press Tab while dragging to take everything, faces, sketch profiles, edges or bodies.

Delete a face

Select a face and press Delete. The face goes and the solid heals over the hole, even on an imported model.
