    First, you need a mold design extension, or similar. Maybe AAX. We use TDO (Tool Design Option)

    Then, in part mode select Applications | Mold/Casting

    Then select Insert | Silhouette Edge...

    Not true, it's integrated in the surface trim tool. You need a surface
    copy first, then a plane for direction. That linked article sums it up,
    although you don't need the datum plane they create in the first step,
    at least in my experience. I think that was used more for placing the
    rib than for creating the silhouette edge.
