Close faces

mirjman

Hi folks! quick technique question: I have a file with lines representing the edges of a triangulated 3D surface and want to create the faces for the surface. Is there a quick way to close all of the triangles? create surface from contours tool is really struggling with this and will not match up. Seems simple, but I'm out of ideas.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

There are several 'make faces' tools......... do a search...

I seem to remember someone suggesting in another thread like this to do the process in portions that will avoid bogging down. What size those portions are or whether this is appropriate to your question, I do not know.

Hi folks - thanks for the replies. I have been giving the plugins some trials without much success. For the record, it will only work for the smallest selection areas but will crash otherwise. I had better luck going with a typical 'from contours' surface even though it was less accurate.
