I have a model which contains various short edges and small faces, this model relied heavily on Lofted Cut features, on certain areas of the model this has generated some small faces and short edges.

I've gotten the very helpful tip on these forums before, about using "Delete Face and Patch" to remedy small faces and that almost always works great!

However for short edges I haven't yet found a "golden" solution, other than trying to painstakingly alter my underlying profile sketches and guide curve sketches - which by the way are all fully defined and coincident or pierced - so... let's forget about that for a moment

I can have SolidWorks find all the short edges with the "Tools -> Check" feature, which is great, but now I want to merge those short edges somehow.

I took some pictures to clarify.

The problem area with short edges

Zoomed into that area to see the individual edges I wish to "merge"

Thanks for reading,
