DmRepair

Pro, Platinum Pro, Platinum Pro, Platinum

Fixes inconsistencies in 3d geometry supported by ACIS kernel (3D solids, surfaces).

DmRepair is a powerful tool to analyze and automatically fix problems in 3D geometry, which are caused by incorrect operations or if geometry was created in another CAD package and imported using the Import command. It is recommended to run DmRepair whenever 3D geometry is imported, if the Import command is not set up to do this automatically. After fixing 3D geometry using DmRepair, operations such as Boolean opertions, direct modeling and generating drawing views are possible.

Accessing the Command

command bar: dmrepair

: dmrepair

Prompts you in the command bar:

Select action [Check/Fix/Select error level] <Fix>: (Choose an option.)

Error(s) found: 234.

Error(s) left: 24.Body 1:

curve not C1: 6

curve not G2: 10

curve self-intersects: 1

sliver face detected: 6

surface irregular: 1

Command Options

Option	Description
Check	Checks the 3D geometry in the drawing for errors without attempting to fix them. Can be used to check whether a model has problems which prevent processing.
Fix	Checks the 3D geometry in the drawing for errors and attempts to fix them.
Select error level	Allows to select the strictness of the checks. Prompts you: Set error level [Critical/General/Warnings] <General>: Critical: the model is checked for errors which prevent operations only. General: default level, which combines performance and efficiency. If no errors are reported using this level, the 3D geometry in the drawing can be edited flawlessly. Warnings: the model is checked for all possible errors, even for minor issues which will not prevent to edit the 3D geometry. This is a thorough check, which might take some time.
