This is especially useful when the boundary is composed of many segments. You can use permanent boundaries to define the limits for crosshatching, the areas to be used in 2-D and 3-D analyses, and the areas to be cut in the Manufacturing application.</p>

Temporary Boundary contains the following options: Chaining, Existing Boundary, Bounded Plane, and New Boundary.</p>
