The PartDesign Defeaturing tool is a parametric dress-up feature that removes one or more selected faces from a PartDesign Feature and heals resulting gaps by extending adjacent faces. Unlike the non-parametric Part Defeaturing tool, this feature stays linked to the base feature and updates automatically when it changes.
This is useful for simplifying imported or heavily featured models, for example removing fillets, chamfers, holes, bosses, or other local details that are not needed for a given purpose, such as FEM analysis, 3D printing, or sharing a simplified model.
Dress-up
LinkSub): the faces selected to be removed from the base feature.Part Design
Bool): true or false. Cleans up residual edges left after the operation. This property is initially set according to the user's settings (found in Preferences → Part Design → General → Model settings).
