[Other] plot3DFoam create only default face??

Hi FOAMers,
I am trying to convert .PFG(Plot3D) mesh to OpenFOAM with plot3dToFoam. But it is creating only default face.There is no other patches.How can I add boundary condition?

Found 15536 undefined faces in mesh; adding to default patch.

You'll most likely need to extract the boundaries using a turning angle. I don't believe the BCs can be recovered when converting a PLOT3D file to OpenFOAM. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
