Extend Surface has Gaps

Luke Tansell Nov 15, 2017 4:47 AM

Hello everyone!

I'm working on a fairly detailed surface model at the moment, and I'm currently doing a shell of the inside by hand.

I've done a bunch of 'Extend Surface' functions with no issue, but this one is playing up for some reason. The preview (below) looks good...

But, the result has big triangles missing (below)...

Does anyone know what's going on here? It seems like a fairly fundamental error, so I've probably got a setting wrong.

Any help is much appreciated, cheers!

Difficult to diagnose without the part (try to upload), but it might be due to some very small edge segments on your surface.
Try to use Untrim Surface first (perhaps with a percentage) and then Extend Surface as needed.

  Thanks Thomas!
  
  I doubt it's a permanent fix, but it's done for the moment (project is due in 2 weeks!).
  
  Extend Surface > Untrim Surface
  
  It worked and there are now no errors in the surface. Brilliant!
