Main Steps
Select Step
Allows you to select the input faces that define the new construction surfaces you want. You can select one or more faces.
Finish/Cancel
This button changes function as you move through the feature construction process. The Finish button constructs the feature using input provided in the other steps. Once you construct the feature, you can edit it by re-selecting the appropriate step on the command bar. The Cancel button discards any input and exits the command.
Select Options
Remove Internal Boundaries
Removes the internal boundaries on the new surfaces. Internal boundaries are typically areas that do not extend to the edge of a surface, such as a hole in the middle of a surface.
Remove External Boundaries
Removes the external boundaries on the new surfaces. External boundaries are typically areas that do extend to the edge of a surface, such as a cutout that removes a portion of the surface along its edge. You cannot remove external boundaries if any adjacent surfaces in the select set are stitched together.
