Extract surfaces around gap and edit them

Extract surfaces around hole and edit them

Extract surfaces at edge and edit them

Removes surfaces of the fault. Enters surface edit mode to fix the surfaces.

Delete surfaces

Deletes the faulty surface.

Delete selected surfaces

Deletes highlighted surfaces

Fix surface

Enters surface edit mode when a surface is selected.

Add selected surfaces to solid

Adds the selected surfaces and/or solids to the main solid to fill the open hole.

Fill gap with tangential surface

Fill gap with non-tangential surface

Fill hole with tangential surface

Fill hole with non-tangential surface

Creates a fill-in surface for the selected hole in the solid.

Fill gap by removing boundary

Fill hole by removing boundary

Extends the surfaces adjacent to the hole to try to fill the hole.

Link and heal edge across gap

Link and heal edge across overlap

Heals the open edge. This may increase the solid tolerance.

Ignore intentional large hole

Marks the selected large hole as intentional.

Mark problem area and enter edit mode

Mark hole boundary and enter edit mode

Mark gap boundary and enter edit mode

Mark problem areas for later repair

Creates composite curves around the faulty surfaces and holes.

Global fault with unknown fix

Not currently available. For future development.

Enter edit mode

Enters surface edit mode without changing the solid.

Fault repaired
