GSD close surface tool
GSD close surface tool
(OP)
Good afternoon all
I am currently designing an aircraft in CATIA for a group project at University, and have been using GSD within CATIA.
I now need to make it a solid part, and I have used the 'join' tool for each wing and the main body.
But now when I try to use close surface, I get the error "Close operator: an opening in the selected body cannot be closed by one single planar face. Modify the part."
I've tried using the healing tool, but it is the first time I've used it and it is not helping me close the surfaces into a solid.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you are unable to locate the hole, try increasing the merging distance in either the heal or join.
This will work on small holes but runs the changes of altering the surfaces to create the join as you increase the merging distance.
If this does not work, turn on wire-frame viewing, and look to make sure there are no overlapping edges, when this happens it will not show a hole but will still cause the close surface to fail.
