      <p class="para_topic">You can define Cut Area by selecting surface regions, sheet bodies, or faces. </p>
      <p class="para_topic">Each member of the Cut Area must be a subset of the Part Geometry. For example, if you select a face as Cut Area, this face must either be selected as Part Geometry or belong to a body selected as Part Geometry. If you select a sheet body as Cut Area, the same body must be selected as Part Geometry as well.</p>
      <p class="para_topic">If you do not specify Cut Area, the system uses the entire defined Part Geometry (excluding areas not accessible by the tool) as the cut area. Edge Tracing Removal &amp; Cut Area Extensions aren't applied if the entire Part Geometry is used and no Cut Area is defined.</p>
