Hi Mala, here:



It is possible that is ok (and a bug in the display mesher not the actual geometry) but often something looking like that has some kind of problem in the trimming boundary. So I'd delete that end cap then make a new one by selecting the whole object and using Construct > Planar.

Michael, ok - I guess I noticed now the problematic parts and put the naked edges shortcut into my MoI.
Question about connection: Is it better connect with or without endcaps? Without I guess - so there are no double caps like you mentioned.
And: When connect two objects with the connect command and when do I have to take the boole operation to connect?

If you connect by Boolean Union 2 parts who have exact common parts extremities
these 2 commun parts are automatically killed! So internal parts disapear and makes only one solid!

Hi Mala,

re:

If you're going to join it with an adjacent piece right away then you don't need to do the endcaps but if you are working on fixing up an object to be a solid it's kind of good to put them on so you can verify that you've got it all finished and that it shows an object type of "Solid".

The Edit > Join command only glues edges together, it doesn't try to remove any material.

The boolean commands on the other hand will intersect objects and try to remove material.

If you know that pieces are touching at common edges it can be good to use Edit > Join for that case since it won't try to do any extra intersection work for calculating the result.

Fine Michael, thanks a lot - also to you Pilou, you said this in other words - I got it, regards...
