Stitch Surfaces
Use the Stitch Surfaces tool to stitch or unstitch adjacent and intersecting surfaces.
- Use window selection to select multiple surfaces, and simultaneously stitch adjacent surfaces and intersecting surfaces. Adjust individual edges if needed.
- Use the legend in the upper-left corner of the modeling window to assist you in finding edges. Edges are color coded by type. Show and hide an edge type by toggling its corresponding checkbox on and off, or quickly isolate an edge type by clicking Only.
