[Ca...] Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I'm fairly certain, when starting a new program, one of the first things most of us do after importing a model, is go to Automatic Healing>Build Geometry. Most of the models I work with need it. Something that's been bothering me lately is that I have to continually heal the model. It seems to be undone most often when I save, or leave Calypso sitting for a while. Is anyone else seeing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ri...] Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Unless you are experiencing specific issues with the model, it is suggested to not heal the model. It also helps to work with models in a neutral format like STEP 214. The majority of issues that I've experienced with models has been with IGES. STEP 214 or native is the way to go.

[Ca...] Posted March 10, 2021 Author Share Posted March 10, 2021 Thanks Richard. In this specific case, my part has some especially small features, in the 0.010-0.012 inches range, and the CAD model displays some surfaces as a series of angles, when in fact, they're small radii. Build Geometry fixes this, but not permanently. Nearly all our models, including this one, are Step 214. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ri...] Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Are you certain it's not just your display quality? If you zoom in, and fresh the display quality, does it fix itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
