Sometimes it might be necessary to change the faces that have been grouped into an operation. Some typical reasons for this change are:
- The need to use different tooling for different surfaces on the part
- To move faces into another setup
- Correcting CAM Assist output
To change the selected faces, click the Change selected faces button:
In the 3D view, select the faces to add or remove from the part. Some selections will not be available. Use the color-coded faces to help with selections.
Yellow - Selected faces - Currently selected faces
Blue - Add from another operation - Faces currently in another operation, but valid for the current operation (selecting these faces will move the face into the current operation)
Red - Add from unassigned - Available faces that are not currently assigned to any operation
Grey - Not compatible - These faces are not valid for the current operation
Once the intended faces are selected, select Confirm.
To clear selections, select Clear All.
To abandon changes, select Cancel.
If faces are deselected from the current operation, they will be designated as Excluded. Excluded faces are visible in the Machinability tab by clicking on Excluded.
