      <p class="para_topic">Clicking the Surface Patch button displays the Select Face dialog box.  When a face containing holes is selected, Mold Wizard searches for closed edge loops (the holes) within the perimeter of the face, highlights each hole, and asks you to select or deselect the highlighted holes for patching. The selected holes are patched up automatically.</p>
      <p class="para_topic">In Surface Patch, Mold Wizard extracts a copy of the underlying face for each selected hole, then trims the copy to the hole edges. The patch-up surfaces are copied to CAVITY_SURFACE layer 38 and CORE_SURFACE layer 27. The patch-up surface is highlighted when you use the Existing Surface function.</p>
