Tolerant curves issue
Tolerant curves issue
(OP)
Hello, I am running into an issue with tolerant curves that is very time consuming to get around. I get the error on the edge of a complex multi-face surface that has been trimmed by another complex surface. The edge looks fine but if I go to select it the segments of the edge do not connect. Does anyone know how to avoid this problem? I can get around it after it happens but it can be very time consuming. I attached a pic showing what happens. The multifaceted darker surface appears to have a continuous edge but when selecting the edge it thinks its not continuous. I'm zoomed in so far the gap between them is probably .0001. BTW the dark surface edge highlighted is a trimmed edge and is not connected to the light green background. Thanks!

...to 'repair' the model? Note that this function does not actually modify you part model, but rather it creates a copy which has been 'tuned-up' a bit, fixing these topological anomalies. Anyway, give it a shot and see if the results are closer to what you're expecting.
