It's grouped with hatch and gradient because it uses the same ray casting algorithm. Click boundary. That opens up this dialogue box where you have a few choices. When you're creating a boundary you can generate it as a polyline or a region. And I'll discuss regions in the next video. For now, let's have it generate a polyline. 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. And you can 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 and it will allow us to pick an internal point. The algorithm casts rays out from this point and determines the boundary of the room based on the point that you…
