To Create a Silhouette Curve
1. On the Mold or Cast tab, click Silhouette Curve. The Silhouette Curve tab opens.
2. Click the Reference Model Collector and select one or more quilts of a reference model. If only one reference model exists in an assembly, the model is automatically selected. Alternatively, you can select the required surfaces or reference models on the Reference tab.
 
* On the Reference tab, click Details to view the individual, excluded, and all solid surfaces existing in the model. You can select the required surfaces as references.
3. Click the Light Direction Collector and select a surface, curve, edge, axis, plane, or coordinate system to specify the light direction.
4. Specify any of the following options, if required:
Slides: Specify volumes and parts to handle undercut zones in the reference part.
Gap Closure: Close one or more gaps in the preliminary silhouette curve.
Loop Selection: Include or exclude loops and chains to resolve ambiguities in the undercut and non-drafted zones.
5. On the Properties tab, type a name for the silhouette curve feature.
6. Click OK.
