So interesting how you fixed this model. Amazes me how such small errors in the geometry can cause these problems.
Thanks so much for making this video BurrMan. Many times I will be creating some really complicated organic shape. And I know I am probably dealing with these same kinds of errors.
Many times I struggle to get certain models to turn into a solid. So I usually just try it some different way. Till I get it. But actually seeing these micro errors is so valuable. Going to try your technique. Thanks Man.

Hey speck,

“”””””” Many times I will be creating some really complicated organic shape. And I know I am probably dealing with these same kinds of errors”””””””

Be careful about leading yourself into futility. I would do this in cases where i can easily determine “this should work”…. Moreso than “this doesnt work”….

For instance. A simple square with some fillets. (Kind of like this particular model)

If you have a very complex shape, organic etc. it may be difficult to use this to find errors.

So the first step was finding the bad surfaces. Then determine how/why those are bad and reverse that… that is the better takeaway than “check for tangencies” so to speak.

Just a heads up

Glad it helped though. You’re welcome.
