Hello all,

Is thare any filter to select all small parts depended by their volume or area?

Thanks a lot.

In my case I wanted to find models with volume < 1000 mm3

If you want to exclude those small components (parts) from your shrinkwrap, you could create a Simplified Rep and exclude components based upon their size.

 

You will have to create a Rule Based simplified rep:
