To fix warped surfaces
To realign warped surfaces with a plane defined by a set of selected nodes or the surface axis, use the following procedure.
If the surface is
selected without any nodes, then the coordinates of each surface vertex are
converted to the local axis system. Any vertex with a non-zero local z
coordinate is replaced with a new vertex node with the same local x and y
coordinates and a 0 z coordinate.
Similarly, if three nodes are selected, the vertex nodes of the surface are moved to the plane defined by the selected nodes.
-
Select either:
three nodes and a one or more surfaces – the selected surfaces are aligned to the plane defined by the nodes
or
only surfaces – the selected surfaces are aligned to the plane defined by the local 1 & 2 axes
-
On the
Surfaces ribbon tab, select the
Fix Warped Surfaces tool in the
Edit group.
If this is the first time you have used this tool during this work session, then a warning message is displayed prompting you to review the changes any objects connected to nodes moved as a result of this action. - Click OK.
