Make Watertight Wizard (version 8 solids only)

Note: Make Watertight is used with version 8 solids. Post-version 8 solids use the Solid Doctor.

This wizard makes a solid or mesh watertight by filling large gaps and sealing small gaps.

1. Select the solid or mesh you want to make watertight.
2. Click Solid Tools tab > Fix panel > Solid/Mesh Doctor.
3. Use the pages of the wizard to make your solid watertight.

The Make Watertight Wizard consists of the following pages:

• Set the maximum linking tolerance — Use this page to set the healing tolerance for the sealing operation.
  • Options — Specify additional controls on this page, which is accessed from the first page of the wizard.
• Repair holes in solids — This page gives you additional control when repairing holes.
• Review solid state — Use this page to review the current state of the solid.
• Heal existing surface links in the solid — This page displays, and enables you to heal, the gaps outside the healing tolerance.
• Wizard result — If the solid becomes watertight, a dialog is displayed that shows the number of holes and gaps that remain in the solid at a particular tolerance.
