  Hello All,
  Could anyone tell me how I can disable the drop-off at middle surface ?
  In ACP, I can only disable the drop off at Top and Bottom surfaces
  It works fine if my element set (pipe1 and pipe2) are the Bottom surface :
  But when they are in middle surface, it does not! see the drop-off generated below. I want the two pipes to be disconnected.
  Thank you

  Hi Daniel,
  you could export the solid model without writing degenerated elements. You can find this option in the Export tab of the Solid Model Properties. This is a global control and would remove all degenerated elements in your model.
  If you want to model two disconnected pipes you might consider to create two separate solid models. Please also consider to file a Service Request if you need further help.
  
  Regards
