Modify MeshRepair

The Repair Mesh command enables you to check the quality of a given mesh and repair its defects.
With improved quality meshes, commands such as Compensator, Super Capping or 3D Printing are more reliable and efficient.

• Select the mesh you would like to repair. A preview is displayed with the boundary edges in green.
  
  
  
  
• Under the Statistics node, there is some information about the mesh: number of nodes, number of facets, number of shells, number of boundary edges and the water tightness status. These statistics are updated in real time along the repair process.
  
  
• Under the Defects node, are listed all the defects that can be visualized on the mesh: isolated nodes, duplicated nodes, duplicated facets, degenerated facets, flipped facets, non-manifold nodes, non-manifold edges, shells, holes.
  Check or uncheck the Defects box to select or clear all the listed defect types at once.

• Given a defect type among the list above, the user can:
  • Change the color of display of these defects using the color button,
  • Check the box to visualize and repair these defects: the number of defects is displayed as well as a Repair all defects button. If there is no defect to repair, the button is grayed,
  • Navigate the defects. Between Previous and Next well-known buttons, there are 3 other buttons: Fit view to current defect, Isolate current defect and Repair current defect.
  
  
• The More Options give you additional functionalities:
  • Automatic Zoom - to adapt the display to the current defect when navigating:
    • When selected, the current defect fits exactly within the display.
    • When cleared, the display is unchanged when navigating the set of defects.
  • Set Target Position - to set a target position on the current defect when navigating:
    • When selected, the current defect is the target position.
    • When cleared, the target position is unchanged when navigating the set of defects.
  • Isolate - to isolate the defect from the rest of the mesh when navigating:
    • When selected, only the current defect is visible.
    • When cleared, the current defect is visible as well as the mesh in the selection.
