Import Diagnostics – 17 Faulty Faces

This is the third in a series of articles focused on troubleshooting and healing topological errors from geometry imported in SolidWorks.

As we discovered in the second article of this series, the Import Diagnostics is a good tool for troubleshooting topological errors. It can also be used for fixing most of them automatically, or semi-automatically (as shown in the first article).

Watch this video in order to fully appreciate the power of the Import Diagnostics tool:
