How to undo "Precise section"?

Recently I have been working with imported dead solids and trying to create real 3D parts out of them. Have been having a lot of trouble.

Been trying to find easier way of doing things and I finally think I found it! Create a "Precise section" where I need it, project that section to my sketch and then rotate, extrude or do anything else I want.

The one thing I can't find is how to then undo the precise section to get back to the original full part?

Click on what? No matter where or what I click nothing happens.

In the attached file I have added a Boolean. I created a "Precise section" thru the Boolean. Then I used "Project to sketch" to project this precise section. If I suppress the boolean I get the revolution I want, but only if I hover over Revolution <9> in the design explorer. If I unsuppress the boolean the revolution gets red & X'ed out?

Right click on the Precise Section in the Explorer Tree and Uncheck 'View' (or even delete)

If you can't see the Precise Section in the Explorer Tree, then you need to set it to be active (Set in the Explorer Tree Options)

You need to create a Package file of your model and upload that. Otherwise it it missing the Boolean part and won't open correctly.

Got To File>Package>Create or Gem>Package>Create

OK guys, got it!!! I don't ever remember using "Precise section", so I didn't have it in my Design Explorer. I would have been looking forever.

Thanks a lot guys.
