      nOn the Facets tab, use the Separate All button to make a separate facet body for each interior cavity.nSeparate the facet bodies using Components (may be an optional step?).nShrinkwrap each facet body one at a time.nOn the Design tab, use the Combine tool to subtract the interior solids from the exterior solid to recreate the cavities.n

      the seperate all function didn't work when I selected the whole geometry. Once I cut out the bounding faces and then used it, it created individual facets. Not all of them could be shrinkwrapped(those ones I deleted). I converted the remaining shrink-wrapped bodies into solids and tried to subtract it from a cube of dimensions same as the bounding box but it showed errors. n

      the pores don't have any bounding surface. is that the region it wont let me subtract it from a solid? I am very confused regarding how to get this geometry resolved.nn

      nYou can create solid geometry then convert that to a Facet Body.nYou can use a Facet Surface to cut a Facet Body.nYou have to learn all the tools on the Facet tab,nTry to do one pore at a time.nIt is a tedious process.nn
