Removing Detached Material in a Video Simulation

You can delete bits of unwanted material that have been detached from the stock during the material removal process after a video simulation. This functionality eliminates false collisions that occur when unwanted chunks remain after being detached from the stock.

Customizing options are available. See Photo/Video and Simulation.
