Repair meshes
From the Pixyz menu, choose Toolbox > Mesh > Repair.
This feature is a combination of algorithms that automatically repairs an asset. For example, this feature includes these algorithms:
- Vertex welding
- Face orientation
- Edge collapse
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Distance Tolerance | Merges any vertices whose proximity is lower than the specified tolerance. The unit is meters by default. |
| Orient faces | Flips the normals of adjacent faces consistently to the same side. |
Note
The orientation of a face is subjective, because it depends on the viewer's standpoint. This feature standardizes orientation on a continuous set of triangles, but it can't ensure that the final result is correct. This feature is appropriate for most volumetric shapes, such as CAD models. For other cases, use other algorithms that flip faces based on the viewer's standpoint.
