Use the Match Nodes command to project nodes from one surface of a Dual Domain mesh into the selected triangles on the other surface of the Dual Domain mesh to re-establish a good mesh match after manually fixing the mesh.
To use this tool, click
().
In the Input parameters section of the dialog, select the nodes you want to project and the triangles you want to project to.
Decide whether you want the new nodes placed in a new layer.
In the Selection option section of the dialog, indicate whether you would like to use filtering and if so, the type of filtering.
Note: Many of the mesh repair tools involve selecting or manipulating nodes. Ensure that the nodes in the part are visible and selectable by activating the required layers in the Layers pane.
Dialog elements
- Select nodes to project into mesh
- Select the node(s) that you want to project from one surface of a Dual Domain mesh into the other surface.
- Select triangles for nodes to project to
- Select the triangles on the model that you want the selected nodes projected into from the other surface.
- Put new nodes into layer
- Select this check box if you want the new nodes to be placed into a new layer, and then enter the layer name into the box provided.
Tip: After clicking Apply, the new layer will be added to the Layer pane.
- Create as
- Allows you to simultaneously create a modeling entity and assign properties to it.
For example
- You can create a curve and assign runner properties to it.
- You can create a region and assign part surface properties to it.
In some cases you have the option to Create as modeling entity. No properties will be assigned. This option may be appropriate if, for example, you are creating curves to construct a region. You must assign properties to the region, but you don't need to assign properties to the curves.
Tip: To change the properties of an entity, click Change.
- Filter
- The filter helps you select a desired model or mesh entity. When you use a filter, the pointer will snap to the specified entity.
