Hello, I’ve hidden most geometry in my model. What you see here is a single component. I drew lines on them because I want to change the middle piece into a new component.
All Forum answers I could find on this topic wanted me to use Make Unique. Whether I double click or single click on the component, I cannot find Make Unique. (Except for the single click option in which Make Unique is greyed out.)
So, how do I make that middle section into a new component?
Double clicking on a component opens it for editing.
Make sure that the Entity Info is open and single click on the component to select it. Observe the Entity Info window to see if you have a component identified. If it is the case, right clicking shall open the contextual menu where you can select Make Unique.
It’s clear in your screenshot that the component is singular, as in only 1 in the model. You cannot make something unique when it is only one, unique to what?
Peter, could use some clarity about what you want. Do you want a new component of the center section without changing the geometry of the original or do you want to totally remove the geometry of the center section from the first component and replace it with a new component of just the center geometry.
Here’s a new copy of what I’m trying to do. I get it that I can’t make this half perimeter unique. The entire half perimeter was selected.
But I still do not have a clue how to make the part of a perimeter that you see in this image into a component. The new component would be part of the old component.
