Patch Single Face

The PatchSingleFace command fills a hole in a mesh by creating a single mesh face. This is useful for repairing meshes, particularly in cases where there are gaps or missing faces. The command allows you to close the hole by selecting a combination of edges or vertices to form the new face.

Steps to Use

1. Select two edges or vertices around the hole in the mesh.

2. Run the PatchSingleFace command to create a new face that fills the hole.

Command-line Options

• JoinMesh: When enabled, this option joins the newly created face with the original mesh, ensuring a seamless connection.

Applications

• Mesh Repair: Fill small holes in meshes to improve their integrity and prevent issues during 3D printing or analysis.

• STL/SLA Printing: Helps prepare meshes by eliminating gaps that could interfere with 3D printing processes, especially for meshes containing long, thin facets.
