  2. From the Type list, select the limiting type among the following and define the limiting element:
    • Angle: Creates a feature up to the defined angle value.
    • Up to next: Creates a feature up to thenext intersecting feature.
    • Up to last: Creates a feature up to the last intersecting feature.
    • Up to plane: Creates a feature up to the the defined plane.
    • Up to surface: Creates a feature up to the the defined surface.
