The {{Button|[[Image:Part_RefineShape.svg|16px]] [[Part_RefineShape|Part RefineShape]]}} produces a non-parametric copy with a refined shape, that is, with certain edges and faces cleaned up.
The [[Image:Part_RefineShape.svg|24px]] '''Part RefineShape''' command produces parametric copies with a refined shape from selected objects. It can for example be used to remove unnecessary edges left over after a [[Part_Fuse|Part Fuse]] operation.

After certain boolean operations, like [[Part_Fuse|Part Fuse]], some lines from the previous shapes may remain visible. This tool produces a copy of that boolean result, and cleans up those seams.

'''Alternatively''', to produce other non-parametric copies use {{Button|[[Image:Part_SimpleCopy.svg|16px]] [[Part SimpleCopy|Simple Copy]]}}, {{Button|[[Image:Part_TransformedCopy.svg|16px]][[Part TransformedCopy|Transformed Copy]]}}, and {{Button|[[Image:Part_ElementCopy.svg|16px]] [[Part ElementCopy|Element Copy]]}}

# Select an object that you wish to clean and copy.
# Select one or more objects.
# Go to the menu {{MenuCommand|Part → Create a copy → [[Image:Part_RefineShape.svg|16px]] Refine shape}}.
# Select the {{MenuCommand|Part → Create a copy → [[Image:Part_RefineShape.svg|16px]] Refine shape}} option from the menu.
# A cleaned, independent copy of the original object is created; the original object is hidden.
# For each object a cleaned, parametric copy is created
# The original objects are hidden.

As of {{VersionPlus|0.19}} the result defaults to a parametric (linked) copy.

This behavior can be changed in the [[Image:Std_DlgParameter.svg|24px|link=Std DlgParameter]] [[Std DlgParameter|Parameter editor]]:
# Go to the subgroup: {{incode|BaseApp/Preferences/Mod/Part}}
# Change {{incode|ParametricRefine}} of type {{incode|Boolean}} to {{FALSE}} to get the old behavior (independent copy).

== Limitations ==

* The refinement algorithm only works on shells. Therefore it iterates over the shells of the input shape and then for each shell it creates a new shell with joined faces wherever possible. This means that if your input shape is only a face, wire, edge or vertex then the algorithm does nothing.
* Unlike the [[Image:OpenSCAD_RefineShapeFeature.svg|24px]] [[OpenSCAD RefineShapeFeature|OpenSCAD RefineShapeFeature]] command, [[Image:Part_RefineShape.svg|24px]] [[Part_RefineShape|Part RefineShape]] won't update when the preceding shapes are changed.

Description

The Part RefineShape command produces parametric copies with a refined shape from selected objects. It can for example be used to remove unnecessary edges left over after a Part Fuse operation.

Original with 11 faces (left), and refined copy with 7 faces (right).

Usage

  1. Select one or more objects.
  2. Select the Part → Create a copy → Refine shape option from the menu.
  3. For each object a cleaned, parametric copy is created
  4. The original objects are hidden.

Notes

  • This command can be used as the last step in a traditional constructive solid geometry workflow.
  • It may help to clean up the model before applying other features, such as fillets.
  • Cleaning up an object may prevent 3D printers from printing unwanted edges once the object is exported to a mesh format.
  • This command can also be used after converting a mesh to a shape (Part ShapeFromMesh).
  • By default this command creates parametric (linked) copies. There is fine-tuning parameter to change this to non-parametric copies. More information about parametric/non-parametric copy behavior can be found in this forum post.
  • Some interesting information about what is happening with placement and how to access by Python can be found in this forum post.

Scripting

The Python command for refining a shape is the following:

shape.removeSplitter()
