    I've forgotten......

    I want to lose all the details inside an assembly. I want to send just the
    outside shell to another company just for fit purposes. I know there is a
    way to do this but I've forgotten.

    Thanks!

    I remember..... save the assembly as a part.

    File > Save As > (select SW part as the file type) > Exterior Surfaces

    This saves a part, but the individual exterior faces have names that are derived from the
    original part names. If you want to hide these, save again as ParaSolid. When that is opened,
    the names are Surface-Imported 1, 2, 3 etc.
