Solids with disrupted integrity |
Scroll |
Integrity of a solid is disrupted if there are open edges similar to open edges of open surfaces, see the Figure.
The following may lead to disrupting the integrity of the solids in a model:
•deletion of the solid faces using the Delete Faces;
•partial deletion of the solid surface using the Surface Trimming;
•knitting surfaces using the Knit surfaces, if during the operation the option Create solid was enabled, but the joined facets did not form a closed surface.
The attribute of disrupted integrity of a solid is the appearance of a special icon 
in the Design Tree instead of the whole solid icon. In this case, the model will get an error mark in the Design tree.
If there is a solid with disrupted integrity, you can still edit it using operations with surfaces: extension, trimming, etc.
To restore the integrity, please add the surfaces to close the solid, then connect these surfaces using the Knit surfaces command.
|
Please note that in order to get a closed surface, you'll need to connect the open edge of one surface to the open edge of another surface. |
When you restore integrity, the icon in the Design Tree is again replaced with the integer solid icon 
.
|
An error mark is displayed in the model until the integrity of all solids is restored. |
