MeshEdit

  This module supports some semiautomatic mesh-editing tasks that often are necessary to clean-up and/or improve the scanning results:
  • Selective Smoothing};
  • Mesh Conversion};
  • Hole Filling. Small holes (bounded by a few edges) can be easily and safely filled in a post-processing editing. Larger ones are better managed by the hole-filling feature introduced in the MeshMerge tool;
  • Small components removal. The presence of noise in the scanning data can produce a lot of small spurious unconnected components, which should be removed from the mesh to improve its quality;
  • Topology Enforcing. Producing an output mesh with a clean topology is a must for many applications. Non two-manifold situations can be produced during mesh simplification or mesh editing, or can be due to geometric robustness and limited arithmetic accuracy of the geometric processing codes. Many of these problems can be automatically removed.
