    Hi.

    Running 5.7. When using surface boundaries i get holes in the surface wich i want to have. This is showing in 3D-view and surface slicer bit when doing a cross-section drawing its no hole, the surface is showing when it should not.

    can you show the actual surface in plan view.

    did you ever find the problem?  I did a test surface with a hole.  I am able to generate a hole in the slicer view.

    Its not the slicer viewer thats the problem, it works in that one,  its the XS plans.

    is there a chance that the surface edge length needs to be changed.  possibly the cross section is reading the surface even if there is a boundary.

    Just tried it and did set the length to 4m and it was still the same.

    if you are using a boundary to trim the surface.  Try breaking the surface and make two surface.  that way you wont have to make a boundary to void out the middle.  Or another though,  try adding a Material using the MSI at the middle.  The Material placed must be a a empty material meaning when you drop a MSI and it gives you choice of which material to drop pick none.
