Hi,
When I use a solid as a clip volume in MS CE, the prompt will be seen as the picture above.
Is that mean the new version MicroStation can't use a solid element for clip volume?
If I use a single surface, like a rectangle surface to be an element for clip volume, it will perform like the clip mask, but I really need the function that the solid element do, just a fixed space inside the volume.
Regards

Un-check the Parametric toggle (shown below) when creating the extrusion if you need to use it for a clip volume.
We can't support arbitrary solids as clip volumes (ex. slab with all edges rounded). We do need to detect/allow a Smart Solid or Parametric Solid that represents a simple extrusion to be selected; this is one of those to do list items that we've never gotten around to implementing.
* You had the same limitation in V8i with not being able to pick a Smart Solid or Feature Solid as a clip, but it came up less often as the extrude tool didn't create these types. HTH
