The MatchMeshEdge command moves face edges of an open mesh to meet adjacent face edges.
Note
- First, the command will try to match vertices, then it will try to split edges to make the edges match.
- No part of the mesh is moved more than the specified tolerance.
- You can use this command either on the complete mesh or on selected edges.
- When selecting a whole mesh, using a high tolerance can create unexpected results. Use larger tolerances only if you select specific edges to close.
- Prompts and options will not display when meshes are preselected.
- Before edge matching, magenta edges are open.
Command-line options
PickEdges
Select specific edges to match.
DistanceToAdjust
Specify the tolerance distance.
RatchetMode
Matching the mesh takes place in four passes starting at a tolerance that is smaller than your specified tolerance and working up to the specified tolerance with successive passes. This matches small edges first and works up to larger edges.
- Some STL/SLA printers have problems if meshes contain many long, thin facets. These facets can slow the printer down, produce odd results, or run the printer out of memory.
- The MeshRepair command may be useful when tuning up meshes for STL/SLA printing.
