Part Controls and Checking Improvements
Split in 2 shells	Invalid parting lines	Sewing failure
Once your parting line defined, you can now create easily your Aside and Bside Shells. The created shells are associative and follow the part modification.	The software knew that sometimes, you did not design all the needed parting lines that allows the Blocks creation. And your question was: “Where are the missing parting lines?” or “Where is the problem?” From now, the answer is... just here!!	You sometimes got an error message during the CC blocks creation: Unable to sew And your question was: « Where is the problem? » From now, the answer is… Just here!!
