Stitch seams between mesh components
 
 
 

Seal gaps between the boundaries of components in a mesh.

This tool works best to eliminate narrow gaps between boundaries. To fill larger openings, use Mesh > Mesh Cleanup > Mesh Hole Fill.

To stitch components together

  1. Choose Mesh > Mesh Stitch.
  2. Select a mesh.

    All the boundaries between components are highlighted in green.

    The prompt line indicates how many boundaries were found, and how many are currently selected.

    Note

    The mesh must have at least two boundaries for Mesh Stitch to work on it.

  3. Select two or more boundaries that form the seam(s) between the pairs of components you want to stitch.

    The boundaries turn yellow and adjacent triangles are highlighted in light blue.

    Note

    You do not need to zoom in to click on the individual boundaries. If you click twice on a seam, Mesh Stitch will select both boundaries.

  4. Press the Stitch button.

    All gaps along the seams are sealed by moving and combining vertices, and creating new vertices if needed.
