Boundary fill not filling simple boundary

Hi,

 

I'm trying boundary fill for the first time.

 

As a test I'm enclosing a simple cube shape by work planes.

 

However, when I click Select Cells, no cell is detected?

 

Surely it's enclosed by the planes?Screenshot 2023-02-06 at 00.49.44.png

You are using Construction Planes for the boundary faces.  These will not work, they must be surface bodies.  I will send along a corrected model in a few minutes.

The video will take the sides of the body, you created the construction planes from, and use them to create surfaces using the Surface Offset command.
