      <p class="para_division">Selecting a part boundary is&nbsp;discussed extensively in Manufacturing General &rarr; Boundaries. When selecting open boundaries in Turning, it is important to ensure that the material side is properly specified. If you look in the same direction as the cutting direction, the material side will be the side where your part is found. This is shown in the following diagram.</p>
      <div class="figure">
         <p align="center"><img align="bottom" src="graphics/material_side.gif"></p>
      </div>
      <div class="title_figure">Material Side is Left</div>
      <div class="title_division">Selecting a closed part boundary</div>
      <p class="para_division">If you select a closed boundary (start point = end point), the software automatically determines the proper location of the material side. In addition, the start point of this boundary selection is irrelevant.</p>
