Deleting a Grid or Surface

Since wire grids and solid surfaces are composed of numerous individual segments, they must be selected as a group before they can be removed from your project (Fig. 1).

Step-by-Step Deletion

1. Activate Selection Mode: Click the Selection Box button on the main toolbar. Refer to: Selecting and Modifying Multiple Wires.
2. Define the Area: Left-click in the workspace and drag a box around the grid or surface you wish to remove. All components within the box will be highlighted in light blue.
3. Execute Delete:
   • Go to Edit > Delete in the main menu.
   • Use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Del.
   • Click the Delete icon on the toolbar.

Important Considerations

• Selective Deletion: Because grids are collections of individual wires, you can choose to delete only a portion of a grid by drawing the selection box around specific segments rather than the whole structure.
• Undo Support: If you accidentally delete the wrong section, you can typically use Ctrl + Z to restore the wires.
• Selection State: The Delete command remains disabled until at least one wire is highlighted.
