Hey, I'm trying to design my first surface modeled object but I'm unable to fill, I'ts always giving an error. Can someone record screen to show how I'm supposed to use "Boundary Fill"? File below. Thanks for help!

Stitch can be a useful tool here.  If you try to stitch together all your surface bodies, you can see that there are a few edges that don't stitch.  These are likely  the problem with Boundary Fill as well.

Hey Jeff, I did as you say. Now it detects surfaces as a one surface, but still no luck with using boundary fill option. I cannot select cell to. New file below.

Found the solution. You need to adjust the tolerance. All lines need to be green. If there is a open surface "Boundary Fill" will be unable to solve it. It cannot fill the gapes between the surfaces.

be a bit careful with this solution, @Anonymous - while this will get you to the next step, stitching with a large tolerance might cause downstream modeling failures.  It is much better to model the surfaces so they are precisely matched up, and tolerant stitching is not needed.

@Anonymous - I'm confused - that link just takes me back to this same page.
