Elements To Transfer

Propagation type

There are three ways of selecting faces based on a Propagation type:

• No propagation lets you select faces by hand in the viewer,
• Point continuity selects all the faces in the same body (core, cavity, other) that have a contact point with the selected face,
• Tangent continuity selects all of the faces in the same body that are tangent to the selected face.

  Click Polygon Trap to select faces.

  Click the places in the viewer where you want the corners of the polygon to be.

  Double click to end corner definition. All faces that are situated entirely within the polygon are selected.

• Select the type of propagation you wish to use before selecting a face.
• The elements selected take the color of the destination.
