Examine Geometry
Examine Geometry
(OP)
Hello all,
When using Examine Geometry in NX6, I usually check for Tiny and Misaligned objects. I know, after processing, you can check the boxes to Highlight Results. However, what I would like to do is move the highlighted results to another layer so I can quickly reference/select which ones are bad. Is there a way to do this?
Thank you,

RE: Examine Geometry
The results are highlighted with temporary geometry. This geometry is not persistent and cannot be selected/moved to a different layer.

...which create a copy of your part file while attempting to repair such things a 'tiny faces', 'sliver faces', misalignments', etc. Note that the result will be a non-parameterized (dumb) model, but it will be topologically 'cleaner'.

RE: Examine Geometry
"Misaligned objects " isn't necessary an error, it only notes that the higlighted objects are very close to XC or YC or ZC but not perfectly aligned.
Same w. tiny objects, it only notes that the higlighted objects are smaller than the compared distance tolerance.
In other words, if we look at a complex part such as a casting of a gearbox, it will most probably contain both misaligned and tiny objects which more or less must be there, else there would be holes in the part.

You can cheat a little by manually cleaning up using the Synchronous Modeling tools.
