I have 3 geometries which are used to cut out layers. Out of these 3 geometries one is a cylinderical surface and for this particular cut off selection layers are not effected, I cant see any cut out in the layup. But the other two geometries are working fine.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have created virtual geometry for these 3 geometries and added a cut off selection rule. Under rules in modelling ply, i have added these three cut off selection rules for all layers.&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/18-07-2025-1752835830-ACP.png\" alt=\"\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/18-07-2025-1752835844-ACP2.png\" alt=\"\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/18-07-2025-1752835856-ACP3.png\" alt=\"\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/18-07-2025-1752835867-ACP4.png\" alt=\"\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wanted to understand why the Cylindrical face cutoff selection is not working.
