Hidden boundaries creating holes

When I try and create openings in my surface with a hidden boundary, it creates irregular openings in the surface.  This is a busy surface consisting of stepped plateaus, but I should be able to create openings from simple geometric shapes.

Any suggestions?

Hi @dminorSZAFH

Check where your Hide Boundary is in the Definition. The Hide Boundary will need to be after the Outer Boundary if you have one.

I created an outer boundary for the surface, which was, in fact, the outer boundary.  I then tried to make the hidden boundary; however, I still have the same problem.

Sometimes it is beneficial to add the boundaries as breaklines before adding as boundaries
