Adjusting Tangency Between Faces

  1. Click Tangency in the Adjust group of the Repair tab.
    The tool automatically finds near-tangent faces in the active component and highlight their edges in the design area, as shown in the image above.
  2. Select the object(s) you want to change:

    • Use the Select Problem tool guide to select highlighted areas that you want to change. The cursor will change to a hand when you move the mouse over a problem area. This tool guide is active by default.

    • Use the Select Geometry tool guide to select edges between faces that were not automatically detected.

  3. Set the Maximum angle in the Options panel.
    The tool will automatically detect near-tangent faces again when you change this value. For best results, keep this angle as small as possible.
  4. Use the controls in the Navigate ribbon group to view each problem one at a time before you fix it.

    • Click Next or Previous to step through and highlight each identified problem.

    • Select Zoom to Fit if you want to automatically zoom in on the problem in the design area when you click Next or Previous.

  5. Click the Complete tool guide.
    SpaceClaim adjusts the highlighted edges so their adjacent faces are tangent.
