Create boundary patch from chain of edges

Generate a boundary patch from a closed loop.

  1. Click Boundary Patch.
  2. Select a chain of tangent or continuous edges which define a closed loop.
  3. Click the arrow under Condition to select a boundary condition for each edge or set of selected edges. Edges are G0 by default.
    Note: Continuous edges must have the same edge condition. Thus, all selected surface edges that are tangent or smooth with the previous edge merge, and display as a single edge. Edges selected with Automatic Edge Chain turned on also display as a single edge in the Condition panel. To apply a specific condition to each edge, turn Automatic Edge Chain off.
  4. Optionally, apply a weight factor to G1 or G2 edges.
  5. Optionally, select another closed loop.
  6. Click OK to create the boundary patch feature.
Note: Region selection is limited to planar patches. For nonplanar regions, select the first loop. Use Select Other to cycle through selectable geometry, and then click to select.
