I am trying to import an .sldprt file, but it has a mesh over it. I am trying to remove the mesh because I cannot edit it. Does anyone know how I can remove this mesh?

Natasha,
Right click on the Mesh in the Feature Tree and choose "Delete"
Chris,
There is no mesh in the feature tree, it is listed as imported 1. When I delete "imported 1" in the feature tree the entire object goes away.
If "imported 1" was used to build features that might be the cause of everything disappearing. However, you would get rebuild errors.
When you right click on "imported 1" and choose "Parent/Child" does it show any dependencies?
When I choose parent/ child, there are several items under the children tab and just imported 1 under the parents tab.
Can you do a screenshot?
Here is a screenshot of the part. I can make some changes to the part but it is difficult because of the mesh.
Its actually a solid body converted from a mesh. You would have to remodel it completely to get something that is easier to work with.
Where did you get this file originally?
I received it person that was previously working in the project, but I don't have a way to contact them anymore. Thank you for your help.
Your part is probably a mesh object. Solidworks has very few tools for working with meshes. There is an add-in called ScanTo3D, which is available with a Professional or Premium license, but that really only helps you creating data over the mesh, not editing the mesh, and it doesn't really do a great job of it either.
Where did you get this model from?
Can you attach the file?
Unfortunately, I don't think that I am able to upload this document. I tried looking for that add-in , but I did not see it. I think that I am missing a file that this part is referencing, but I am not sure.
Can you attach the file?
