It is useful to remember the following points when using Solid Doctor:
- When fixing problems, look at the problem first and ask yourself how you would fix that problem using surfaces. Then make/repair the surfaces that way and sew them back into the solid.
- Run automatic fixing as the first step. Select the top entry in the fault tree and click
. It does not fix all problems, but it usually reduces the number of faults that need to be fixed with other options.
- Use
often to re-check the solid.
- Only selected surfaces are sewn into the solid when you leave Doctor Edit mode.
- Gaps can be overlaps.
- If there are any tiny gaps between surfaces, consider removing the surfaces that are adjacent to the fault. Use one of the hole filling options to fix the fault.
- Use Shift and Ctrl to add and remove surfaces from the selection.
