Check Duplicates

 

Overview

IMG_C_ICON_DOT.gifCheck the detailed information of a selected shape.

 

Methodology

Check for repeated shapes in the same position.

[Visible Shape Only]

Repeated shapes are represented by visible shapes on the screen. The check is performed regardless of the Show/hide status of the target.

[Check Duplicate Points]

Check for duplicated points. The function only checks for independent points. Overlapping points are indicated in yellow. Check the [Include Sub-Points] to perform the check on sub-shape points

(ex: the corner points of a box).

[Check Duplicate Edges/Wires]

Check repeated edges or wires. The function only checks for independent edges and wires. Overlapping edges/wires are indicated in green. Check the [Include Sub-Edges] to perform the check on sub-shape edges (ex: the edges of a rectangle).

[Check Duplicate faces]

Check duplicated faces. The function only checks for independent faces. Overlapping faces are indicated in orange. Check the [Include Sub-Faces] to perform the check on sub-shape edges (ex: a face of a box). Use the [Extract Boundary Topology] to only check faces that are exactly overlapping. An overlapping face has the same number of points on the outline, the same coordinates and the same edge direction.

[Remove Duplicated Shape]

Remove repeated independent shapes and only leave a single shape. However, the sub-shapes are not deleted.

Check for shared faces after creating a 3D geometry object. Creating a mesh on an unshared solid created a free face makes obtaining accurate analysis results difficult. Such shared faces can be checked using Check Shape > Check Duplicates. To view the object information, change the view mode of the solid to linear view.  

When the shared face of adjacent shapes are not shown, use Boolean > Solid to create a shared face.
