Align Vertices

The AlignVertices command forces mesh or SubD vertices to the same location.

  • 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.

Steps

  • Select mesh or SubD objects, and specify command line options, press Enter.

    If the distances between vertices are smaller than the value of DistanceToAdjust, the vertices are forced together.

    This command is useful for fixing areas that have many vertices that should be in the same spot but for some reason are not.

Command-line options

SelectVertices

Lets you select vertices to align.

SelectNakedEdges

Lets you select naked edges to align all vertices on the naked edge.

DistanceToAdjust

Sets the tolerance distance.

AverageVertexesToAdjust

Moves vertices to the average location instead of moving one to the other.
