Description

Generates a closed polyline or spline around the boundary of a planar closed area, a planar face of a 3D solid or around the area of a hatch pattern.

Method

Select a planar enclosed point to generate a boundary by picking a point inside one of the following entities:

  • Closed planar area
  • Planar face on a 3D solid; to select the face of a 3D solid hold down the Ctrl key.
  • Hatch pattern

The resulting boundary are:

  • Polyline - when the boundary is polygonal (has corners, like a square)
  • Spline - when the boundary is curved, like a spline.
