Face/Edge

 

Overview

IMG_C_ICON_DOT.gifFind and delete faces/Edges that are smaller in value (area for face, length for edge) than the input value.

 

Methodology

Select the geometry shape to check and input the micro-line/micro-face threshold values. Press the find button to automatically find faces or lines with areas or lengths less than the threshold value. The user can check and delete the selected shapes.

When using an imported geometry shape data file, very small faces (especially, long faces with small widths) can also be imported, which leads to a reduction of work efficiency and the creation of incorrect shapes. The best way to solve this problem is to erase the problematic faces and restructure the shape using adjacent faces. However, if the model is too large and the problematic faces cannot be checked individually by the naked eye, it is efficient to use this option to adjust the allowance and automatically delete small faces.

When using many edges to create a face, some faces may not form. This problem can be caused by very short edges that overlap. In this case, the function can be used to find and delete such micro-edges when creating a face.
