Checking the Topology of Faces

Face Checker finds self-intersections, geometrical discontinuities in the boundaries of faces or surfaces, global thin faces, and transfers defective faces to dedicated geometrical sets for further repair.

  1. Select all faces.
  2. Start the search:
    1. Clear the Internal Edges check box.
    2. Do not change the default values.
    3. Click Apply.
  3. Inspect the defective topologies:
    1. Select the line corresponding to the defects you want to verify to display them.
    2. If required, double-click the associated color patch to modify the visualization color.
  4. Click Transfer.
    1. Select a line.
    2. Click Transfer.
    The Transfer dialog box appears.
    Notes:
    • Number of anomalies indicates the number of self-intersecting faces found.
    • In Anomalies Detected you find the list of defective sites.
    • Transfer to proposes you a geometrical set into that you can transfer the sites.
    • Automatic Repair is available only for self-intersections problems.
  5. Right-click a site and select Reframe On to inspect a site.
  6. Select one or several sites and click the single arrow to transfer them to the Anomalies Selected list, or click the double arrow to transfer all the sites to the Anomalies Selected list. Then click Transfer to transfer them to the geometrical set.
