hello @Thirukumaran Subbian ,

can you please the syntax below at line 2:

*createmark elements 2 "displayed"

Regards,

Michael

Hello @Michael Hervé 

I have tried using the "displayed" option too. It still giving out no result as per my concern.

Could you provide any alternative solution to this issue as well please?

Thanks.

I can't imagine why Michael's suggestion didn't work but you could try:

hm_createmark elements 2 "advanced" "displayed"

The help for *createmark also states that Michael had the proper syntax:

Hello again @Thirukumaran Subbian ,

I read again your initial message, and yo want the elements attached to your rigid.

So the code below only contains displayed rigid elements:

*createmark elements 1 "by config" 55

*createmark elements 2 "by displayed"

*markintersection elements 1 elements 2

If yo want to get connected elements, then you can use

*appendmark elems 1 "by adjacent"

Does that help?

Best Regards,

Michael

That helps just fine! I needed that clarity which both of you provided. 

Thanks @Michael Hervé and @Ben Buchanan for your inputs.
