or as a
configuration, and maintain references to the original part or
assembly.
The options that you select in the PropertyManager
are saved in the original model. You
can publish the fully detailed model containing the Defeature options to your Supplier Services account on 3D
ContentCentral. You can specify that details be removed when customers configure
and download the model.
You can use the Simplify Geometry method or the Silhouette method to defeature a model. The
