Closing holes

You can also manually close holes in your mesh object by

  • Selecting your mesh object in the tree view
  • Choose MeshesFill holes... from the top menu
  • Specify maximum number of edges to be filled (3 is default)
  • Since STL and OBJ are meshes consisting of triangles the default number of edges should be sufficient


Another method of manually closing holes in your mesh object would be

  • Selecting your mesh object in the tree view
  • Choose Meshes Close hole from the top menu
  • Select one of the edges of the hole in the mesh object in the 3D view
  • Right-Click in 3D view and choose Leave hole-filling mode to exit the command
