Can't seem to create surfaces after draping linework on topo
-
I have been having problems with my model getting surfaces to close after draping linework onto a topo map. When I draped it a few surfaces were created but nothing like I needed. There's a road and a playground and sidewalks that I need to apply materials to to render in Lumion. Usually I would just do "intersect" and it would work, but it's not working here.
I can't seem to upload it here though as it's too big (despite having very little information)so if you want a copy of it let me know.
Thanks

Run Purge Unused from Model Info>Statistics and see if that reduces the file size enough.

This issue happens can you import CAD files and drape them. It's always been a bug and it lingers still. I would recommend using EdgeTools and clean up any little bits and shards in your CAD file. Then you can try also running it on your topo after draping. This doesnt always work but it gets a good amount of unclean cuts. You can also bet that arcs tend to have this issue when draping. To find the culprit, I turn on hidden and start painting my areas, you will eventually find where the bleeder is and fix the teeny-tiny edge that did not cut cleanly.
Also try Fredo's Edge Inspector.
