Automatic repair function:
Import options
Using the import option Automatic repair function, repairs and optimization on import of facet
data can be configured and automatically performed.
The settings and functions correspond to the existing methods for editing facets that can also be
executed manually.
INFO: The automatic repair function is not executed on import of VRML and 3D Studio files.
Match edges: Matches unmatched triangle edges of the model within a definable tolerance
(compare Match edges).
Fill holes: Fills holes within the surface of the model using different filling methods (compare Fill
holes).
Reduce triangles: Reduces the number of triangles within a definable surface tolerance (compare
Reduce triangles).
Adjust normals: Automatically adjusts the normals within the facet surface (compare Adjust
triangles).
Automatic orientation
This option applies a automatic orientation after importing a triangle mesh. (compare Orientate
parts)
Load support files
With this option it is possible to associate
support geometry to a triangle mesh at
import. The support geometry files have to
be in the same folder as the mesh file. The
support file classification occurs by the use
of a part name and prefix or extension
combination. Attention should be paid to
provide all files in the same file format.
Search for prefix: If this search criterion is
selected a support geometry file with the
name "PREFIXpartname" (e.g.
"s_chassis.stl") will be searched and as
support geometry associated to the mesh.
Search for extension: If this search criterion is selected a support geometry file with the name
"partnameSUFFIX" (e.g. "chassis_s.stl") will be searched and as support geometry associated to
the mesh.
