During wrapping, nodes in the relief can miss the target surfaces if there are gaps in the model, or the relief falls off the edges of the surfaces. Such nodes are removed from the relief and their edges trimmed back. This can create holes and open edges in the wrap.
Use the Hole Filling dialog to set options for filling holes caused by gaps in the model:
- Maximum number of edges which define a hole — Specifies a hole in the relief. The edges are those of the triangles in the relief.
-
Fill holes — Fills a hole with triangles if it has fewer edges than the maximum number.
PowerShape uses a simple method for filling holes. For minor problems, it should do the job. In some cases, it may not give the required result. In these cases, you can:
- Correct the surfaces underneath the wrap and create the wrap again
- Switch off the Fill holes option to create the wrap. Use the (Mesh Tools) Manage tab to fix the triangle and improve the results.
-
Close remaining open edges — Closes any gaps between the model and the boundary of the relief. These are usually caused by the relief spilling off the edge of the surface.
