Fill Gap Data

Advanced Face Modeling Package

Fill a Gap

Determines how the gap will be filled.

Dialog Box Options

Flattening
Try a suitable value.
Formula
Defines the variable of the formula.
Flip the Face Direction
Invert the face direction opposite (turns the face).
Make volume
Make volume of the face.
Maximum number of spans
The control of the face is automatic. If you want to control with the slider, select Maximum number of spans. By the small value, the face is more simple, and do not follow the guide curves precisely. A large value creates more complicated face. Slow functionality: tangency and follows guide curves precisely.
Edges on Gap
If you have only selected one line when creating the feature, the list will only include one line. You can select the line chain, in which can also be guide curves.
You can indicate gap lines individually by selecting Add in the dialog box.
  • You can select the point of the gap edge where the face to be created must be tangential.
  • Other sections will have a sharp edge. If you do not select anything, the face will be made tangential for the entire edge, as far as this is possible.
Tangency on the edges
You can indicate lines from the model, which will be tangential to the line chain. Click Add and select the lines.
Guide Curves
You can also indicate lines in the mode to function as guide curves.
Add, Change, Delete
You can target the function on the Edge line or the Tangential geometry (the line which defines the tangential geometry) or Guide curve.
Select a line from the list, press the right mouse button and select a function from the menu.
You can use the buttons Add, Change or Delete.
Apply
Preview by clicking the Apply button in the dialog box. This will show you how the model would look if you confirmed the feature data by clicking OK. If necessary, you can still edit the feature data.
