You can save the less-detailed model to a separate file or as a
configuration, and maintain references to the original part or
assembly.
You can also save a defeatured version of the assembly or part as a
derived configuration. For more information, see Defeature for Parts.
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 Simplify Geometry
method removes selected
components and geometry details from the top-level assembly. The Silhouette
method creates a simplified part
from the silhouette outlines of components and bodies.
