You cannot select a combination of faces and edges. You can only select sketches and edges for a single Turning operation, or select faces and CAD features containing faces for a single turning operation.

Lathe Parameters
First Section Plane Start Angle - The reference angle to which BobCAM begins analyzing the profile of the feature geometry.
NOTE: Zero degrees is the XZ-plane
Interval angle between section planes - A new section plane is created at this interval for determining the profile of the part.
Preview section planes - Shows the section planes location on the part.
Remove first vertical line - Removes the first vertical line from the detected feature geometry.
Remove last vertical line - Removes the last vertical line from the detected feature geometry.
Primary region only - Allows only primary regions of a part to be included in the detected feature geometry.
