GUI Power Tools Tutorial

Step 3: Heal Geometry

To correct the geometry, one should find poorly defined geometric entity and "heal" them using special master tools available in Fidesys. Naturally, inconsistencies can only be found if their detection meets the capabilities of the program. It is always a good idea to test the imported geometry using the tools available. In this example, the previous step found some poorly defined curves. This step demonstrates how to use the power tools to correct these curves.

The geometry repair tools do not accept commands directly, but direct you to the Command Bar, where the corresponding elements are activated, as shown below.

The messages shown below appear in the command line window. Note the increase in the percentage of "good" geometry: before healing - 97%, after healing - 100%.  Correction performed successfully.

Analyze the geometry again to make sure that all the "bad" features have been removed.
