For mechanical parts, use the tools. By forcing surfaces to be perfectly horizontal, vertical, or concentric, you eliminate the micro-gaps that appear when surfaces are fitted independently. 4. Manual Patch Alignment If "Auto-Surface" results in cracks: Switch to Manual Surfacing .
: Use the Zebra Stripes tool to check for visual breaks in the surface. If the lines don't meet, you still have a "crack" or a sharp discontinuity. quicksurface crack
: When using the "Auto-Surface" feature, complex curvatures can lead to patches that do not meet perfectly at their common edges. For mechanical parts, use the tools
If you are seeing a specific error message or a visual "rip" in your model, let me know: Are you using or Manual Surfacing ? What is the file format of your original scan? Is the crack appearing on a sharp edge or a smooth curve ? Manual Patch Alignment If "Auto-Surface" results in cracks:
Ensure that the "G0" (Position) and "G1" (Tangency) constraints are active on shared edges.
