Using the Share Topology Review Tool

  1. Use Select Bodies to select bodies for review. Selecting an area outside of the model will deselect all selected bodies.
  2. With a body selected or when reviewing the shared topology in the entire model:
    1. Select Faces to display shared and not shared faces. Select the display color for shared and not shared faces.
    2. Select Edges shared to display edges shared twice, three times, or more than three times. Select the display line thickness and color for the Edges shared options.
    3. Select Free edges to display free edges shared once or twice. Select the display line thickness and color for the Free edges options.
    4. For models with beams, select Beam connection to display beams according to the number of shared points. Select the display color for the beams based on the number of shared points.
    5. Select Vertices to display vertices in the model view.
    6. Select Show obscured to display entities that are hidden in the model view.
    7. (Optional) Select Keep visible to enable persistent display of shared entities when using other tools.
  3. (Optional) Select Retry share to retry sharing for face pairs that are not shared based on the global Coincidence tolerance specified in the Share tool. For each face pair that is not shared, a dynamic local tolerance is automatically computed and sharing is retried.
  4. (Optional) Select Create named selections to create one or more named selections per pair of not shared faces.
  5. Click the Complete tool guide to apply sharing to all remaining candidates.
