    2. Type: Specify the type of the region, Part, Part with Lattice (only available for regions with lattice bodies), or Designed Support.
    3. Tolerance: Specify the tolerance.
  4. To associate a part to the created region, click Select Body and do one of the following:
    • Select a volume from the manufacturing cell.
