Cutout Feature
By removing material, you create a protected volume. The cutout is shelled as you apply it to a shellable feature. This type of feature requires a closed profile defining the area that a section will be removed from the active body.
Complement
The Complement check box cuts away what is outside the profile rather than what is inside the profile, thus creating a complementary (or inverse) cutout, as shown in the following image:

Protected Volume
Clear the Protected volume check box to add material inside the cavity (unprotected area) created by the cutout feature.
By default, this option is cleared.
