Add triangles using points on geometric objects

You can add geometric objects, such as wireframe lines or curves, to mesh models. This is useful if you want to add triangles to fill a hole or gap in a mesh, as you can select points on the object to use as nodes.

For example:

  1. Add a geometric object to the mesh model.

    For example, you may add a line to help bridge the gap in the mesh, as shown below:

    2. Tip: For information on creating geometric objects, see the Wireframe modelling manual in the Reference Help.
  2. Select points you want to use to create nodes, for example select points and , which are existing vertices:

  3. Use point , the mid-point of the line, to create the final node.

    The new triangle is drawn:
