Enclosures are ordered solid geometry that reside within the assembly. Once the assembly components to be simplified are selected, a face or plane is used to orient the enclosure. The face or plane must reside within the local assembly.

Enclosure Types:

• Box

  

• Inside Cylinder

  

• Outside Cylinder

  

Shown below is a box enclosure oriented by a plane which is not perpendicular to the faces of the components being enclosed.
