- Right-click in the design tree and select Roll To End. This causes the FeatureManager
to become unrolled all the way to the end.
- The outlet of the involute is now longer than it should be. This is because the original
extrude was never deleted from the end. Right-click the Extrude1 feature and select
Parent/Child. The feature needs to be deleted, but you need to know what is going to be
deleted with it.
- The Shell is listed as a child of the extrude because the end face of the extrude was
chosen to be removed by the Shell. Edit the Shell feature and remove the reference to
the face. (A Shell feature with no faces to remove is still hollowed out.)
- If you right-click Extrude1 and select Parent/Child again, the Shell feature is no lon-
ger listed as a child.
- Delete Extrude1, and when the dialog box appears, press Alt+F to select Also
Delete Absorbed Features.
