Using the Check Facets Tool

Use the Check Facets tool to list problems with the faceted body that will adversely affect the 3D Printing process.

Problems detected include the following:

  • Multiple pieces (facet regions or shells)
  • Non-watertight facets
  • Self intersections
  • Over-connected (non-manifold) edges

To check facets:

  1. Select a Faceted body in the structure tree.
  2. Click the Check Facets tool.
    A dialog appears listing any issues found.
  3. Click Zoom to fit in the dialog to zoom in on selected problems in the list.

The Check Facets tool can also be used in an Action-Object workflow by entering the tool and then selecting the faceted body.
