Question:
I used the method of intersections to create an opening in a circular cylindrical wall surface.
How can I hide these auxiliary surfaces to create an intersection?
Answer:
By creating an intersection, additional components are created in addition to the actual surfaces that represent, for example, the intersecting pipes. After generating the intersection, all components are initially active. This can be seen in the Data navigator under the entry for surfaces.
You can deactivate the individual components subsequently. To do this, you can either click the entry in the navigator or select the respective component in the model. In the dialog box for editing the component, this can be deactivated.
You can also use the corresponding shortcut menu (right-click on the component) in the Data navigator to deactivate the component.
