Fill

Three variants of Wrap > Fill allow you to edit the polygon object’s surface by filling in regions of the object and increasing its volume. The way that vol­ume is added depends on the distribution of points in the selected area and the selected variant of the operation. When a Fill operation is applied, the original point set is not altered. The addition of volume to the surface results in new connectivity between the original points.

The variants of Wrap > Fill are:

•  Wrap > Fill > Layer - adds a single layer of volume on top of the selected area. This is not geometrically intelligent, and occasionally pro­duces results that look like spikes, so use it only on small regions of the model.

• Wrap > Fill > Up - fills any concave parts of the selected region. This can be applied to small or large areas, adding volume until the selected area is filled. The Fill Up operation is useful for editing stair-step regions where the direction of slicing is not perpendicular to the surface.

•  Wrap > Fill > Edges - intelligently defines hard features of a model, such as edges, that may have been blurred during scanning. The Fill Edges operation allows you to select the areas that require additional volume and fill them easily.

To use any variant of Wrap > Fill:

1. If Wrap > Fine Tune is not already activated, do it now.

2. Click Fill > Edges, Fill > Up, or Fill > Layer, or a corresponding icon on the toolbar.

3. The selected area is filled automatically.
