When you're creating a boundary, you can generate it as a poly line or a region. And I'll discuss regions in the next video. For now, let's have it generate a poly line. The boundary set is what you're going to analyze. In a really complex drawing you might want to limit that to a smaller area. You could do that by selecting a new boundary set. And selecting certain objects that you want to analyze like this. Press enter. So now we have a selection set that we're going to analyze. Up here we can click this button.
