After starting the command, the system prompts you to select the contour of the filled area. Several 3D paths (closed), several 3D profiles (closed) or a set of edges (closed) can be specified as a contour. It is possible to simultaneously select 3D paths/3D profiles/edges as one contour.
1. Closed 3D Path 2. Closed 3D Profile 3. Closed set of edges |
When you select a contour, the source operation to which the selected contour belongs is automatically selected. A surface or a solid can be selected as the source operation.
It is recommended to use the surface bodies.
All contours (or part of the contours) must belong to the source operation.
In some cases, the source operation may not exist, for example, if you select a closed 3D path. In this case, the surface will be created along the contour, but it will not be possible to set boundary conditions for it.
Without boundary condition |
With source operation |
1. Closed 3D Path 2. Closed set of edges 3. Result surface |
If an edge is selected as a contour element, the system tries to define the entire contour as a whole, i.e. selects adjacent edges. The selected elements are placed in the Composition field, which displays the element type and its Boundary Condition.
With the Merge option, you can adjust the boolean addition operation, i.e. merge the created surface with the source one. The option is enabled by default. If it is necessary to create a separate filling surface, the option must be disabled.
