Tips

• Press Shift+F to display Mesh Face Groups on mesh bodies.
• You can select any faces on the same mesh body to include in the face group, even if they are not connected.
• Create face groups that map as closely as possible to prismatic features. This produces the best results when you convert the mesh body to a solid body.
