    Catia V5R20 - Multi-Section Solid Definition

    When i teach MSS, I always show this thing with replacing the closing point. The closing point in a sketch is where you start drawing your profile, and sincne we usually sketch more or less in the same manner this is very seldom a problem. But see what happens when a left-handed person sketch...
