      • In the case of hole removal, user can give all the faces of the hole or a face in the hole. If only a face per hole is selected, the connected faces of the hole along the axis will get identified and removed.
      • In the case of slot removal, user has to input all the faces of the slot.
    • Holes identified by radius

      Holes specified in the given radius range will be removed from the selected body.

    • All holes

      All the holes will be removed from the selected body.

  • Exclude holes

    This option helps to exclude holes from getting removed while Holes identified by radius and All holes options are chosen to remove holes from body.
