Note: Mesh boundaries and other subparts cannot be selected in a shaded view.įills all holes in a polygon mesh object with triangular faces, which helps clean up, repair, and close mesh files for rapid prototype printing The command searches around the naked edge you select and attempts to create a closed boundary to fill. Mesh > Mesh Repair Tools > Patch Single Faceįills a selected hole, which helps clean up, repair, and close mesh files for rapid prototype printingįills a hole in the mesh selected by picking the hole edge. If Yes, the new faces are joined to the original mesh. Mesh > Mesh Edit Tools > Cull Degenerate Mesh Facesįills a mesh hole with a single mesh face, which helps clean up, repair, and close mesh files for rapid prototype printing Note: If any vertices are orphaned in the process, they are also removed Geometry Fix > Check mesh objects for errorsĭeletes mesh faces that have 0 area, which helps clean up, repair, and close mesh files for rapid prototype printing Saves the contents of the window to a text file. Unused vertices do not usually cause a problem, and there are no commands to for removing them.Ĭopies all text in the window to the Clipboard Try the FillMeshHoleįaces that could make it better if their directions were flipped Use the ShowEdgesĬommand to help find them. Naked edges are allowed, but cause problems with rapid prototyping. Fix with the CullDegenerateMeshFacesĬommand and then fix with the ExtractNonManifoldMeshEdges Zero-length edges typically are the result of degenerate faces. Use this information as a checklist for mesh repair.

The command test results along with detailed information about the mesh. Using CheckMesh and then fixing any indicated errors will minimize down-process errors. To troubleshoot imported and Rhino-generated meshes. Use the CheckMesh command when generating an STL mesh for rapid prototyping Checks mesh objects for errors, which helps clean up, repair, and close mesh files for rapid prototype printing
