- Wb "Part"
- select "Skeleton-YB1.1-Top_Bottom_Complete_Clean"
- "Part" menu -> Compound -> Explode compound
Hello, domad. This is interesting.
However, it does not work still, see:

As the others are saying it may be a bug in this version.

Use the "set Tolerance value" button from the Defeaturing_Workbench.
Thanks Roy. This did not work for me.
I am testing with Defeaturing WB (1.2.0)

Results from the left to the right.

You are right, it does not work, the face disappears on the outside, but not on the inside.

lala.FCStd
it still has a lot of geometry check errors though.
adrianinsaval, your technique worked for me. This is good! It works even after converting it to a Simple Copy. The simple copy does not give me errors.

Thanks for helping me out.

Yes, indeed, redesigning this would be better and it is not hard. However, I would like to know how to fix these things quickly because sometimes I find parts with this kind of issue and I don't have too mutch time to redesign everything.

The intersection between the part you have fixed, with the problematic one, is this area highlighted here. So this is the problematic point.
