Repair Midmesh Elements or Fill Faces
Use the Midmesh: Repair/Fill tool to repair midmesh by attempting to fix topological problems (holes/gaps/cracks, intersections, slivers, overlaps) in the mesh and remesh the face, or create a mesh within a closed topology loop, attempting to keep tangency.
Note: 1D topology and free edges are considered for loop completion.
-
From the 2D ribbon, click the Midmesh > Repair/Fill tool.
Figure 1. -
Select elements on midmesh faces or edges to repair.
- Select 2D face elements to repair a face.
- Select edge(s) to ignore gap edges.
- Select edge(s) to fill a missing face.
- Optional:
On the guide bar, click
and check the box to merge filled faces.
Merge filled face does not keep shared edges between new surfaces and existing surfaces. -
Find intersecting element clusters and holes/gaps/cracks, and create element
sets for further handling.
-
Click Find, or select elements and click
Find to find intersections/gap elements and
gap edges.
Figure 2. -
Review the found element(s) by clicking
/
. Intersecting elements are automatically appended to the Elements selector for repair.
-
Uncheck Intersection/gap elements or
gap edges issues in the legend to disable the
coloring.
This does not have any effect on model touring.
-
To increase or decrease the number of layers around the found elements,
click

respectively.
-
Click Find, or select elements and click
Find to find intersections/gap elements and
gap edges.
-
Repair midmesh in the following ways:
- On the guide bar, click
.
- In the microdialog, click Repair Face or Ignore Gap.
Note:- Intersection element clusters sets cleared are removed upon repairing faces.
- Ignore gap will just unmark the gap edges label for selected gap edges.
- On the guide bar, click
-
To fill missing faces:
- Select edge(s) to identify the loop to be filled.
-
Click
on the guide bar or Fill Face in the microdialog.
