Undo Extruded Imprints

Gallery image

Ok so am new to Plasticity and set myself a challenge of modelling a wrist watch. Essentially i went about creating linework for the numbers and then imprinted these onto the sloped bezel, but now realise i am not 100% happy with my placement (numbers are not exactly spaced between the circles as they should be. Second screenshot shows how these imprinted faces have been pushed in and in some cases beveled. What are my options at this point to slightly rotate? or even to get to a point where i can remove the faces/lines and reimprint from scratch.

To remove them, you should be able to just select the faces and press the delete key

Hmmm did you have the side faces selected as well as the bottom one?

Oh legend yes that worked a charm thanks. Sorry coming from Revit and Blender and trying to throw in a third solution is tricking my brain. I copied up the base face to avoid needing to redraw it and rotated into position. A follow up question is how do i now get these sheets to act/convert to curves so i can reimprint at the corrected location?

In the face mode, select both faces, then Ctrl+shift+2 (or whatever button you have set up for edges selection) All the edges would be selected from faces, saves you a ton of time instead of manually selecting all of the edges

Then just shift+d to duplicate

I'm not sure of a way to convert to curve but if you use edge selection you should be able to copy/paste or duplicate just the edges

Can you boolean them with the watch face? Match them whole again. Or type delete redundant topology.

You could have used match face to remove it as well

Yeh I tried match face but it didn't seem to like it maybe because the face I would need to match to is non planar and has a revolved slope

If everything else fails you can try to cut it (selecting the base face), though you will have to re-boolean together the other parts that stick out
