## Completing the CAD Selection Group for a Contour Feature

The options in the CAD selection group display the CAD coordinates for a Contour feature and enable you to perform CAD-related functions. For a Contour feature, the coordinates are one or more CAD points that define the section cut plane, start point, and end point of the profile in which the contour points lie. For example:

A. Single click on a selection point on the curved surface

A. Multi-click on the selection points on the two planar surfaces

A. Section cut plane
B. CAD points that appear in the CAD selection area

### Examples of the CAD Selection Point

When selecting a CAD selection point for a Contour feature, you must click near a boundary. The selection point will be projected on the boundary, and it gives the direction of the slice. For example:

A. Correct CAD selection point

Do not click in the middle of a surface. In this case, the result will fail. For example:

A. Incorrect CAD selection point

Note: You can see the selected surface and therefore the corresponding boundaries by holding down the SHIFT key, going over the CAD drawing, and then clicking close to a border/boundary line.
