Fragmented Solid Face
-
Hi,
I've started modelling a building and something weird has happened to one of the faces, well one I've discovered so far.
I tried to place a window ope in a wall and when i projected it back the shape projected in fragments, the entire face seems to have fragmented for some strange reason [well to me anyway], I have obviously done something wrong and was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions, I've run fix problems and none are reported. I have attached the model and applied a colour to one of the fragments on the face.Thanks in advance

If you use View > Hidden Geometry 'ON', you'll see that the wall face is split into several facets.
You must have skewed the wall at some point by moving something sideways - even slightly - and it 'auto-folded'.
Some of these 'hidden' [smoothed?] can be erased using the Eraser tool and the faces will heal into one - like with your 'red' one.
But other edges are are not erasable, because the wall's facets need those to exist.
You'll need to rebuild the distorted geometry from scratch to fully correct those. -
It's worse than that. (TIG beat me in the meanwhile)
You must have inadvertently moved a vertex or edge out of place and the autofold feature broke not only that but the neighbouring face into pieces. Turn on hidden hidden geometry under the View menu and see.
At the moment, I am here (see screenshot). Since your building was not aligned to the axes, I moved the axes and turned on hidden geometry. Selected all coplanar faces of the area and what is painted red is the only facet there that is not co-planar with the rest. (Similar issues were elsewhere, too).

Thanks guys, redraw it is so and be careful of what you move.
Thanks again -
You have many distorted faces in your model (brown lines).Did you import it from another program ?
-
No, The plan was imported from Autocad and drawn over and then projected up so I do'nt know what happened to those faces, I think I'll just start the whole thing from scratch and see how I get on

If you will start over,I suggest you to check your model often with the SuSolid plugin,and your model will be always "clean"
