Full Version: finding geometry problems and then fixing them

Hi Peer,

re:
> Generally what are the fastest ways to find problems?

It's pretty subtle but often those kinds of problems mean that there will be some overdraw - multiple curves drawn over the same spot on the screen - which will be slightly darker than spots with no overdraw.

Also viewing surface control points can sometimes draw attention to messy spots where points are clumped up, use Edit > Separate then Edit > Show pts. The overdraw is usually more pronounced with the points display and is easier to notice.


For repair, it kind of depends on the particular situation. If the fragment is small enough it can be possible to separate it out and delete it and rejoin the surrounding surfaces together. In other cases surrounding surfaces may need to be untrimmed and retrimmed or constructed as a longer surface.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the tips about overdraw, showing control points, and removing fragments.
