To Edit Regions (Repair and Construction)

In some instances, a translated region may require editing. Reasons include the following:

• A surface is translated with trim going the wrong way.
• A loop meant for the outer edge is used as the inner edge.
• The natural border of the surface is used as the outer edge.
• The surface contains a hole that must be removed.
• The region includes a self-intersecting loop.

Inner and outer regions can be repaired on faces. Only inner regions can be repaired on a quilt.

1. Open a file that contains surface geometry and enter the repair or construction environment.

2. On the ribbon, do one of the following:

   • Click Repair tab Modify panel Edit Regions.
   • Click Construction tab Surface panel Edit Regions..

3. In the graphics window, click a face to repair. The selected face is highlighted.

4. Click regions in the face to keep. Filled holes are not planar but follow the contours of the underlying surface.

5. Click Done. The selected regions are retained while unselected regions and unneeded loops are removed.
