davidcbrett Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Hi there, I'm trying to tidy up this drawing by getting rid of the lines all over it. Ideally id like to make it a 3d solid using SURFSCULPT but I can't seem to make it watertight. Is there any easy way of highlighting where the gaps are? Failing that, is there a command that will hide the lines? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nestly Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 What's the object constructed out of? Meshes? Surfaces? Can you upload the drawing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidcbrett Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 It was originally converted from a .IGS file so it's come out as surfaces. drawing attached. Corner.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nestly Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 The grid lines are called Isolines, and you might just be able to switch to a Visual Style other than Realistic... otherwise go into the Visual Styles Palette and change Edge Settings from Isolines to None Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nestly Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Regarding turning it into a Solid, there seem to be some inconsistencies where there may be some unjoined surface edges, particularly on the inside of the shelled areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD Mather Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I would remodel the part. What is the source? Why was it not modeled as solid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidcbrett Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 Thanks for the ideas everyone, really appreciate it. As far as I know it was originally modelled in SolidWorks. I'll have another go at remodelling it but for the time being i've set VSEDGES to 0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
