# Method Detail

## AppendFaceBoundary

`Boundary.``AppendFaceBoundary`

  Append the face boundary

  Signature `AppendFaceBoundary(face, ignoreHole, ignoreIsland, ignoreChamfer, toolSide)`

  Parameters:

  - face (`NXOpen.TaggedObject`) – the face to create boundaries
  - ignoreHole (bool) – flag to ignore holes in face
  - ignoreIsland (bool) – flag to ignore islands on face
  - ignoreChamfer (bool) – flag to ignore chamfers on face
  - toolSide (`NXOpen.CAM.BoundarySetToolSideTypes`) – tool side for the face boundary

  Returns: | array of the appended face boundary set objects
  Return type: | list of `NXOpen.CAM.BoundarySet`

  Returns: | the planar mill/surface contour boundary set object
  Return type: | `NXOpen.CAM.BoundarySetPlanarMill`

  New in version NX11.0.1.

  License requirements: cam_base (“CAM BASE”)

## CreateBoundaryTurnSet

`Boundary.``CreateBoundaryTurnSet`

  Create an empty turning boundary set

  Signature `CreateBoundaryTurnSet()`

  Returns: | the turning boundary set object
  Return type: | `NXOpen.CAM.BoundaryTurnSet`

  New in version NX9.0.2.

  License requirements: cam_base (“CAM BASE”)

## RemoveFaceBoundary

`Boundary.``RemoveFaceBoundary`

  Remove the face boundaries

  Signature `RemoveFaceBoundary(face)`

## Validate

`Boundary.``Validate`

  Validate whether the inputs to the component are sufficient for commit to be called.

  If the component is not in a state to commit then an exception is thrown. For example, if the component requires you to set some property, this method will throw an exception if you haven’t set it. This method throws a not-yet-implemented NXException for some components.

  Signature `Validate()`

  Returns: | Was self validation successful
  Return type: | bool
