Hello everybody,

I am using the 2016X version of the 3DExperience platform.

I am trying to reduce the size of my model (an assembly of about 60 parts) by cutting off everything that is at more than 1.5 meters of my area of interest but I don't (and can't) want to do it on my original CAO because that would brake the links and junctions between pieces. I tried to do it using "Derivative Representation" (in CATIA Assembly Design) but that way causes me problem (it creates bodies for every parts, that don't allow me to do tie connections because there are not mechanical components) and also kind of degrade the CAO (automatic capture of mesh degrading).

Anyway, I saw that I could use Abstraction shapes to do so but, I only saw that in the 2020X and 2021X version, I don not find it anywhere in the 2016X version, does anybody know if it is available in the 2016X version and where or if it appears after that version of the 3DExperience platform?

Thanks
