Parameters

NumOfFaces

Number of faces to delete

FaceList

Array containing the faces to delete

Option

Additional control (see Remarks)

DoLocalCheck

True checks the bodies during the operation and sets retval to indicate whether or not the resultant body is valid, false does not

LocalCheckResult

True if body is valid, false if not; to obtain this value, you must pass True for the DoLocalCheck argument

All of the specified faces, which must belong to this temporary body, are deleted from IBody2. If the resulting body does not have a complete boundary, then SOLIDWORKS treats any holes as wounds and heals them as specified by the option argument. The option argument takes the following values:

For example, consider a cube with a through hole made up of four faces (a square hole). To delete these four faces, specify option 0 because the loop on the first face to be deleted is dependent on the loop of the second face to be deleted. Likewise, the loop on the second face to be deleted is dependent on the third face to be deleted, and so on.

Now consider the same cube with a through hole, except this through hole is a simple cylinder (one face). To delete the cylindrical face, specify option 1 to heal the loops independently. This is necessary because the cylindrical face actually has two loops (one at either end of the cylinder) that need to be healed separately.

It is possible to generate invalid geometry when you use this method because checking is disabled. Call IBody2::Check3 to verify that the body is a valid solid after using this method.
