Check Solid dialog box
Use the Check Solid dialog box to select a solid and to identify error conditions that may pose problems in solid modeling operations. This function identifies and describes specific errors and highlights their location in the solid drawing.
This function is particularly useful for analyzing the integrity of imported solids and identifying entities that you may need to repair or reconstruct. If errors are detected, the Check Solid dialog box lists up to ten errors. If no errors are detected, a confirming message appears. If you click an item in the Errors and tolerant edges list, Mastercam highlights the associated error in the graphics window.
With file formats in which healing during import is supported you may want to re-import the file with this feature turned on. Or you may use Remove Faces to remove faces having problems identified by the Check Solid function in order to reconstruct new surfaces, which can be subsequently stitched using the From Surfaces function.
