By default, each time you add or modify a feature, the feature is checked against any adjacent faces and edges. Additional tools for checking models are the Verification on rebuild option and the Check Entity tool.
You can use these tools for the following purposes:
- To examine imported geometry (when you import the body as a whole, from another system, such as an IGES or STEP file)
-
To make sure that the model exports properly to other formats
-
To determine the cause when the model looks wrong
To increase the level of error checking, turn on the
Verification on rebuild option. When this option is turned on, the software checks every new or changed feature against all existing faces and edges, not just adjacent faces and edges. Features that cause invalid geometry fail when this option is turned on.
This option has a negative effect on performance. Rebuilding the model is considerably slower and more CPU-intensive. This option applies to all documents, not just the active document. Use this option only when needed, then be sure to turn it off when you are done.
