In the cases when blend surface completely overlaps other topological entities, two ways of processing the operation are possible depending on condition of the Delete Elements checkbox. This checkbox is located in the bottom part of the General Parameters section in the Parameters window (independently of Edges, Vertices, Boundary and Trimming tabs).
If the checkbox is disabled, the system retains all overlapped elements, while trimming or extending blend surface if necessary.
If the checkbox is enabled, the system deletes all overlapped elements, leaving the blend surface only.
