More Operating Mode information is available in the Local Healing Basic Task.
Edges to Heal
Displays the list of edges to heal.
You can edit that list:
- by selecting elements in the geometry:
- Standard selection (no button clicked):
- when you select an unlisted element, it is added to the list
- when you select a listed element, it is removed from the list
- when you select an unlisted element, it is added to the list
- when you select a listed element, it remains in the list
- when you select an unlisted element, the list is unchanged
- when you select a listed element, it removed from the list
If you double-click Add Mode or Remove Mode, the
chosen mode is permanent,
i.e. successively selecting elements will add/remove them.
However, if you click only once, only the next selected element is added or
removed.
You only have to click the button again, or click another one, to deactivate the mode.
- by selecting an element in the list then using the
RemoveSel contextual menu item to remove it from the list
or the ReplaceSel contextual menu item to replace the element by another.
Parameters tab
Point or Tangent continuity are available.
Distance to be reached in respect with the point continuity, i.e. the maximum gap allowed between two healed elements.
Available for a Tangent continuity.
Angle to be reached in respect with the tangency continuity, i.e. the
maximum allowed tangency deviation
allowed between healed elements.
Those two objectives can be deduced from an analysis, such as
Surface Connection Checker.
Freeze tab
Defines the list of frozen elements, that is the elements
that should not be affected by the healing operation.
You can edit the list as described above for the
Edges to Heal
Check this option to leave planar elements untouched.
Check this option to leave canonic elements untouched.
Sharpness tab:
Available for a Tangent continuity.
Defines the sharp edges that must remain sharp.
You can edit the list as described above for the
Edges to Heal
Maximum value of the angle below which an angle is
considered as sharp.
This can be useful when offsetting the resulting healed geometry for
example.
Visualization tab:
Enables you to better understand the discontinuities in the model and the
results of the healing action.
It lets you define the way the messages are displayed on the healed
element.
Check the required option to display all solutions (All),
or the edges that are not corrected (Not
corrected),
or to display nothing (None).
All the messages, that is to say the messages indicating
where the discontinuity remains as well as those indicating
where the discontinuity type has changed (in point (PT) and tangency (^))
Shown solution(s): All
-
By default, both the symbols
or
and the information text
are displayed: 
,
on all edges. For a better comfort, you can:-
Display information interactively: Only the symbols
or
that point on each edge
processed are visible.
The information text appears as you move the cursor over the symbol.
-
or Display information sequentially. In this case, the counter below indicates the rank and the total number of solutions.
Click the << or >> to display the information on a given edge (symbol and text).
If you combine both options, only one edge is highlighted with one symbol
Place your cursor on that symbol to display the information text and push the arrow to go to the next edge.
