Hi,

I know it is old topic,but I didn't use moi3d lately and I forgot it.Now when I see some of my 3d printable models,it shows me joined surfaces and not solid object.I have to make solid,to be 3d printable object.I know one topic was about how to show naked edges,merge it and fix 3d model to be solid.Can someone help me on this issue.I've tried to install script for this,but it shows me all edges.Thank you in advance for your advices :)

I suppose you have this one ?

script: /* Show naked edges */ var gd = moi.geometryDatabase; gd.deselectAll();
var breps =gd.getObjects().getBreps(); for ( var i = 0; i < breps.length; ++i )
breps.item(i).getNakedEdges().setProperty( 'selected', true );

if it show all edges maybe all your edges are naked!
Try Edit / Join and relaunch it

you can also post your 3dm! ;)

Thank you Frenchy Pilou your script works.Now I see why my objects isn't solid.Now I have more motivation to create new 3d models with moi3d again :)

Best Regards, Nikola aka zenox3d

I had an experience recently wherein a joined surface would not seal to a solid, but also did not show any naked edges.
I tried everything I could think of... scaling up 100x, Separate and Join again, etc.

Eventually, I gave up for a while. When I returned and opened the model again, voila, it was a solid.
This has happened one other time. I just saved and reopened the model to have the solid complete.

Just out of curiosity.
what is a naked edge? :)

Quite new with MoI and did not find this in help file.
Thanks

edges who are not connected to something for build a surface!
generally very small distance between vertices

Hi Mr. Yuri - a "naked edge" is an open edge that is not joined between 2 surfaces.

A solid like a box has no naked edges - every edge of the box is a spot where 2 surfaces meet up.

If you create a plane surface for example that will have naked edges at its boundaries since it is not connected to another surface there.

If you're trying to make a solid you can't have any naked edges and that script above is a good way to see where they are at, those will basically be openings in the "skin" of your object that is preventing it from being watertight.

Thanks.
Made a note for the script ;)
