Refit Face is a feature of the Quality Check command that attempts to repair entities within a user-specified tolerance value. Refit Face is enabled only when the system determines that the face selected in the Problem Diagnosis browser can be repaired by the command. The Refit Face command can be used with single or multiple bodies and works with the following Geometry Errors:
- FACE_SELF_INTERSECT
- EDGE_SELF_INTERSECT
- FACE_IRREGULAR
- EDGE_IRREGULAR
- FACE_SINGULARITY
- FACE_DEGENERACY
- SURF_DISCONTINUOUS
- CURVE_DISCONTINUOUS
- Import IGES or STEP data.
- Right-click the Construction folder in the browser, and select Edit Construction.
- On the ribbon, click

.
- Select an entity for repair in the Quality Check dialog box. You must select a single face body. If you select a muti-face body, solid, or quilt, the Refit Face command is disabled.
- Select or enter a Maximum Tolerance value. The value is the maximum value that the system is allowed to deviate from the selected face when generating a new face during the repair process.
Note: We recommend that a small value be used. This field is often prepopulated by the tolerance factor found in the IGES or STEP file. If the face is not repaired, then slowly increase the tolerance value. This ensures that the original integrity of the surface is maintained.
- Click Refit.
- When the process is completed, the Description area updates and displays the number of bodies worked on, and the number of problems that were repaired.
Note: One body can be listed under multiple known issues, and repairing a single face may resolve multiple problems.
If no changes are made during the repair attempt, the message "Repair Unsuccessful" is displayed in the Description area. In this case, run the Refit command again, specifying a larger tolerance value.
If necessary, you can undo each repair attempt.
