From the Shape section of the action bar, click Extract
 .
- In the Elements(s) to extract box, select an edge or the face of an element.
- In the Propagation type list, select any one of the below options:
- Point continuity: The extracted element has no hole.
- Tangent continuity: The extracted element is created according to tangency conditions.
- Curvature continuity: The extracted element (necessarily a curve) is created according to curvature conditions.
- Depression/Protrusion propagation: You can quickly select protrusions and/or depressions of a surface. Also, the base surface can be selected without its protrusions and/or depressions. Two cells belong to a protrusion if their union is convex. Two cells belong to a depression if their union is concave.
- No propagation: Only the selected element is created.
-
Select a Recognition context for the
Depression/Protrusion propagation types.
-
Select the Federation check box to generate groups of
elements belonging to the resulting extracted element that is detected together
with the pointer when selecting one of its subelements.

Click OK.
