Use the tools on the draw panel to create a closed loop sketch of the object's boundaries.
00:32
After you complete the closed loop sketch, you must click Finish to create the element.
00:38
To make changes to the boundary sketch of an existing element,
00:42
select the element and double click or click Edit Boundary on the Contextual tab.
00:48
Make changes to the sketch using the Draw tools or use the Modify tools to edit the existing sketch lines.
