The DeleteFaces command removes selected faces from a mesh, SubD or Polysurface.

It is most effective in a shaded display mode since you can see and directly pick faces.

*Note:*

&#x20;    -Some STL/SLA printers have problems if meshes contain many long, thin facets. These facets can                                  slow the printer down, produce odd results, or run the printer out of memory.

&#x20;    -The MeshRepair command may be useful when tuning up meshes for STL/SLA printing.
