In Creo, some shape surface sets that are selected for removal contain surfaces that are shared by shapes included in the surface set, and shapes that are not included in the surface set.
The system automatically splits these shared surfaces so that only the portions of the shared surfaces that belong to the selected shapes are removed. You have the option not to split the shared surfaces, and then the entire shared surface can be removed.
