Close Open Gaps

Access: Open this function from the following location:

  • Select Faces > Create Faces > Close Open Gaps from the menu bar.

Create faces that close open gaps in a skin of stitched faces

A gap is regarded as an island or any closed loop of open (free) edges; for example, those highlighted in red in the middle picture below.

The part before the Close Open Gaps function locates gaps.

The same part after the function finds open gaps and highlights them in red. In this case, the part was picked using By Box.

Various options can be used to close these open gaps.

Note: If new faces are used to close gaps (see Options and Results), the default color of the new faces is defined in the Preferences.
