Description
Removes conflicts between base surface information and planar or sweep plate information on all surfaces by changing the type of all relevant planar and sweep plates into offset plates.
If a surface is marked both as a base surface and as part of a planar or sweep plate, there is a conflict about how to create the corresponding midsurface. On one hand, it is marked to be base surface, which means the corresponding midsurface should be created by offset with a user-specified distance. On the other hand, it is marked as part of a planar or sweep plate, which means the corresponding midsurface should be inserted in the middle of the plate in a form of a piece of plane or sweep surface. These often contradict each other as only offset plates can contain base surfaces.
