Hi,
I have imported an IGES file for a transmission block. There are some 80 surfaces missing in the part once its imported into CATIA.

Right now I am visually checking for missing surfaces.

Is there an automatic way for identifying the "free edges/ boundaries" that can highlight the missing surfaces?

Thanks,
Arvind.
