Cap Planar Holes

 History enabled

The Cap command fills planar holes in objects with planar faces.
Surface

Input
  • Surface, Polysurface, Extrusion, Mesh, SubD

Command-line options (Mesh/SubD only)

DeleteInput

Specify if the input object will be deleted.

DeleteInput=No supports History.

Crease
Yes

Do not weld the vertices along the cap boundary.

No

Welds the vertices along the cap boundary.

The cap boundary will be smoothed on SubDs. This does not happen on meshes.
Triangles
Yes

Fills a planar opening in a SubD or mesh with triangle faces.

No

Fills a planar opening in a SubD with a single face, or in a mesh with an n-gon.

Caps will always be made up of triangles when:

  • A SubD or mesh cap has a hole (an inner boundary).

  • Any part of the outer boundary of a SubD cap is not convex.

You can use the MergeFaces command to combine the triangles into a single face as needed.
