Import Diagnostics PropertyManager

Import Diagnostics repairs imported models.

To open the Import Diagnostics PropertyManager:

With a model open, click Import Diagnostics (Tools toolbar) or Tools > Import Diagnostics.

  • Messages in the PropertyManager inform you of the model status and the results of actions.
  • Select a face or gap in the lists to see the fault highlighted in the graphics area.
  • Tooltips explain the fault (Self-intersecting face, for example).
  • You can add faces to the list of faces so that Attempt to Heal All will simplify them.

To repair a model:

  1. Click Attempt to Heal All.
  2. If faults remain, repair faulty faces first. Right-click a face in the list and select from the menu.
  3. Repair gaps last. Right-click a gap in the list and select from the menu.
