Fill Hole Tool
The Fill hole tool attempts to fill a hole in a primitive based on the currently selected laminar or free edges (wires).
- Select one or more wire / laminar edges in the 3D view.
- Press Q+C (Q followed by C) to automatically select the smallest loop of edges containing the currently selected edges.
- Click OK to activate the tool.
- Cornered face-face transition
- The hole is filled while ignoring all smoothness requirements at the boundary. The sheet is analytic if possible.
- Smooth face-face transition
- The hole is filled with a sheet that is smooth at the boundary. The sheet is analytic if possible.
- Remove hole (extend bounding faces)
- The tool attempts to grow neighbouring faces to fill the hole, without creating additional faces.
- Minimum number of faces
- The tool attempts to minimise the number of faces in the patch.
- Multiple faces
- The tool creates a patch if it is possible. The patch may contain multiple faces.
- Single face
- The tool attempts to fill the hole with a single face patch. This option may result in performance improvements if a single face solution is required, but will not work in all cases.
- Smooth internal edges
- If this option is selected and the Topology is set to Multiple faces, the internal edges of the faces used to fill the hole will be smooth without discontinuities.
