check object integrity?
Hi,
some programs always expect closed polygons of their 3D models. But by cutting operations or deleting surfaces you can easily create an 'open mesh'. Is there a way to check whether an object is 'closed'? This means filling the object with water it will not pour out at any place (I hope I could express that clear enough). I think about selecting an object and then run the function to check and mark the vertices of open edges. I have no idea how important this is for other AC3D modellers. Thanks and Regards Karl-Heinz PS: Latest work attached Last edited by rc-rodeo; 1st February 2011 at 08:22 AM. |

Re: check object integrity?
Karl-Heinz, a few months ago, I wrote to tell you of the integrity checking functions within Rhino for correcting mesh errors. Did you get a chance to try them out? These can be used even in the restricted demo version. Similar functions within AC3D would be a great boon.

Re: check object integrity?
Dear Mike,
I appreciate to hear from you again!!! No, I did not check the other program up to now. Learning the setup of aerofly 5 took a lot of my time. But I'm afraid I have to try it, since I hardly see a chance to get it solved otherwise. Best regards Karl-Heinz (rodeo) |
