Repair Midmesh Elements or Fill Faces

Use the Midmesh: Repair/Fill tool to repair midmesh by attempting to fix topological problems (holes/gaps/cracks, intersections, slivers, overlaps) in the mesh and remesh the face, or create a mesh within a closed topology loop, attempting to keep tangency.

Note: 1D topology and free edges are considered for loop completion.
  1. From the Mesh ribbon, click the Midmesh > Repair/Fill tool.


    Figure 1.
  2. Optional: On the guide bar, click to define repair/fill options.
  3. Select elements on midmesh faces or edges to repair.
    • Select 2D face elements to repair a face.
    • Select 1D edge elements to fill a missing face.
  4. Optional: Find intersecting element clusters and holes/gaps/cracks, and create element sets for further handling.
    1. Click Find.

    2. Review the found element(s) by clicking /. Intersecting elements are auto selected to the elements selector for repair.
    3. To increase or decrease the number of layers around the found elements, click / respectively.
  5. Repair midmesh in the following ways:
    • On the guide bar, click .
    • On the microdialog, click Repair Face.
