Boundary Fill cell selection

Hi All,

Are there better ways to easily tell which cell youll have to select while using the boundary fill command to fill up a cavity or a space?

I tried filling my plastic container; it worked as shown, but after multiple guesses. Sometimes its difficult to tell which cell selection will give the right result.

 

I wish there was like a color variation or something. How do you handle yours?

I have on occasion, selected the cell by mouse click on the cell of choice.

Clicking a target tick, also changes the void colour shade slightly.

 

I usually know what I want in the first place.

 

Might help...

You can use your Window Selection method to select the cell areas you desire during the Boundary Fill command.  Keeping in mind that only the cells "within" the window will be selected, it is  pretty easy method.

If the object is relatively simple, it is usually fairly easy to guess what volume/body will be created when picking a specific tick mark.

With more complex boundaries, trial and error is, unfortunately, the only way to determine the outcome. 

It isn't uncommon for two tick marks to be almost on top of each other, making selecting the right one difficult or impossible. It's been reported a long time ago 😉
