To Construct an All Solid Surface Set
1. Select a solid surface on your model. Creo Parametric highlights the selected surface.
2. Right-click and select Solid Surfaces on the shortcut menu. Creo Parametric constructs the surface set and adds all solid surfaces to the set. Note that if you are working outside of a tool, the Selected Items area indicates the selection and the Selected Items dialog box contains All Solid Surfaces. However, if you construct a surface set from inside a tool, the active collector contains the surface set and the All Solid Surfaces label is displayed on the model.
3. Open a feature tool or continue working in a feature tool to use the surface set to create a feature.

• When working in a tool, if the surface sets collector or if surface sets and the Anchor collector are empty, then the Part filter is available. You can use the Part filter to select a part from the Model Tree or graphics area. You can also use the Part filter to select the components from the Layer Tree, irrespective of the layer status.
• When working in a tool, if the surface sets and the Anchor collector are empty, then the Part filter is available. To construct an All Solid surface set select the Part filter and then select a part with solid surfaces from the graphics area or the Model Tree. When you select a part, by default, the Anchor collector displays the first solid surface in the part and continues to remain active, the All solid surfaces option is selected, and the Part filter becomes unavailable.
Holding down the CTRL key and selecting the anchor surface clears the selection of the All Solid surface set.
• When working in a tool, if the surface sets collector is empty, then the Part filter is available. To construct an All Solid surface set select the Part filter and then select a part that has solid surfaces from the graphics area or the Model Tree.
