Close Gap
Introduction
This is used to close gaps between :
- Edge and face
- or Edge and edge
Edge and face
It extends the edges along the defined direction to meet the selected faces. A new face is created to fill the gap between the original and the extended edges. The input edges and faces should belong to same body.
- Example
- Input
- Output
New face connecting the given faces and edges shown below.
- Input
It extends the edges toward selected faces closest element. Estimate Gap gives the maximum extension distance. You can edit it.
- Example
- Input
- Output
The gap is closed by extending the existing edge as shown below.
- Input
Edge and edge
This is used to close gaps between two set of faces, whose free edges are within gap value. Estimate Gap gives the shortest distance between the free edges of the 2 sets of selected faces. You can edit it.
- Ignore edges
These edges won't get closed even if they lie within the given gap value.
- Example
Select the faces that needs to be connected and estimate/enter the gap value.
The gap that lies within the given value will be filled.
This is used to extend two planar faces at the intersecting line. The given faces should not penetrate each other.
- Example
- Input
- Output
The gap is closed by extending the existing edge as shown below.
