Imprint 3D Solids
You can create new faces on 3D solids by imprinting arcs, circles, lines, 2D
and 3D polylines, ellipses, splines, regions, bodies, and 3D solids. For exam-
ple, if a circle intersects with a 3D solid, you can imprint the intersecting
curves on the solid. You can delete or retain the original imprinted objects to
be used for further editing. The imprinted object must intersect a face or faces
on the selected solid in order for the imprinting to be successful.
To imprint a 3D solid object
