  2. Optional: On the guide bar, click to define additional options.
  3. Select bounding surfaces in the following ways:
    • On the guide bar, click Find to detect bounding surface sets.

      Review each found/selected bounding surface group by clicking and .

    • Left-click on bounding surfaces in the modeling window.
  4. Create bounding solids.
    • Click Create All to create bounding solids from all found/selected surface bounds.
    • Create individual bounding solids by left-clicking on a selected bounding surface.
