I was trying to create a solid of the attached imported surface part but noticed there was an errant face. What I thought should be a straight forward delete face and fill surface(merge) operation isn't working and has me extremely puzzled. Every time I perform a Filled Surface operation and try merging entities it tells me that the faces intersect...Any thoughts?
Thanks.
I managed to repair it, but as Jeff pointed out it does have other issues. I wouldn't want to try to tool this as it stands, if that is your intention.
Here's how I fixed it.
Original File
Deleted all features except "Surface-Imported1"
Right clicked on "Surface-Imported1" and ran "Import Diagnostics" and it found 18 faulty faces and 2 gaps between faces. Then clicked "Attempt to Heal All" it did a great job of turning it into a solid.
