To Resolve Failed Rounds Using End Surfaces
If your round geometry has failed because it cannot be attached to the part, use the following procedure to change the attachment type from a solid to a surface. This enables you to save the problematic round geometry until you can resolve the geometry errors. After you resolve the errors, you can create a new solid round from the quilt.
1. Select the references for the round and click Model > Round. The Round tab opens.
2. Click the Options tab.
3. Click the Surface or New quilt attachment type. Note that New quilt is available only if you select a surface quilt as one of your references.
4. If you need to create end surfaces to cap all of the round piece ends of the entire round feature, click the Create end surfaces check box.
5. If you need to create end surfaces to cap the gaps between the active transition and part geometry, click Capped on the Round tab. Remember, you must be in Transition mode to cap the active transition.
6. Click OK to save your changes. The round is created and the Round tool closes.
7. Use the surface tools (surface extend, surface trim, etc.) to modify the surface and resolve the errors.
8. Use the Solidify tool (Model > Solidify) on the quilt to make the surface round a solid round.
* 
Side surfaces must exist in order to extend and use them as capping surfaces. If not, the round piece cannot be capped.
You can only cap rounds between surfaces of the same quilt or the same body.
You can also use the Capped shortcut menu command from within the graphics window to quickly cap the gaps between active transition and part geometry.
