Forcing a face to appear

[Stewy]

Hi all,

thanks for the landscape/topo help, i'm really pleased with the results. My next minor niggle is that sometimes a face doesn't automatically generate and I can't seem to figure out why - I guess that the edges are not co-planar, is there any way to force the face by selecting specific edges?

thanks guys,

Stew

Hi Stewy,

1 - If edges are not coplanar then the face does not actually exist and there is no way to make it appear, unless you change your edges in order to make them coplanar or you add some edges to obtain a triangulation where you want a face to appear. If you add edges you wont get one single face, but many faces that connect the original edges.

2 - If instead the edges are coplanar (and enclose a region) but the face is not there, just retrace (with the line tool) any of the edges and the face will appear,

hope this helps,

guzman.

thanks Guzman, that makes sense, guess I'll just have to work more accurately!
