Stitch Tool Guides and Options

Stitch Tool Guides

The following tool guides help step you through the process. Use the Tab key to cycle through them. As soon as the tool guide switches, the cursor may change to reflect the active guide.


Select Problem	The Select Problem tool guide is active by default. This tool guide allows you to select and fix problem areas that are automatically found by the tool.
Select Geometry	The Select Geometry tool guide allows you to select faces that were not automatically found. Hold Ctrl to select multiple objects or box select in the design area.
Exclude Problem	The Exclude Problem tool guide allows you to exclude areas from selection and fixing.
Complete	The Complete tool guide merges the highlighted faces.

Stitch Tool Options

The following options are available:


Maximum distance	The maximum distance between faces that is automatically detected by the tool. The maximum distance value can be adjusted using a slider in the Options panel.
Check for coincidence	Set this option to check for coincidence within the model.
Maintain components	When you call a stitch, stitching will isolate each component and attempt to sew surface bodies within that component. It will not stitch surface bodies across components. This option is on by default.
