[Br...] Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 Hello, I am noticing a difference in the mesh appearance when I upload it after a pre-trimming operation (in Meshmixer). It shows some green triangles whether it is set as CAD or as a mesh. In the CAD view, it also displays the same red edges when I activate the boundary lines. Could someone shed some light on what this represents? Is it a defect inherent to exporting after editing in another software? Is there a correction procedure I should apply in these cases? If so, could it modify the surface? My goal is to compare how one mesh is distorted relative to another, so I am concerned that applying such procedures might affect the results.

[Na...] Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 Hello Bruna, I am not sure, how the green triangles are displayed, maybe you could post a screenshot? A description of different mesh errors is in the article of this function, which you could apply to your mesh: https://techguide.zeiss.com/en/zeiss-inspect-2025/article/cmd_mesh_eliminate_mesh_errors.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Br...] Posted November 23 Author Share Posted November 23 (edited) Hi Nanno, Thank you so much for your reply and link provided. It follows an example. They are not shown if I upload the raw file, without pre-trimming. They also remain showing after applying the 3D comparison. Could it fall into Fanfolded triangles category? I tried to repair it however it encompassed a large area, more that I would like to modify. Edited November 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ma...] Posted November 24 Share Posted November 24 For me it looks like either hole ( missing triangle ) or inverted face of that triangle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Na...] Posted November 24 Share Posted November 24 They look like inverted (standard color of mesh rear side). It should be possible to fixed with this function: ZEISS Quality Tech Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Br...] Posted November 24 Author Share Posted November 24 Hi Martin and Nanno, I am truly grateful for your help in clarifying what those triangles were and for the very useful link you, Nanno, provided. Since my mesh had many small green (inverted) triangles, I found this tool in the same context of the link above, which was extremely helpful for orienting all of them at once. https://techguide.zeiss.com/en/zeiss-inspect-2025/article/cmd_mesh_automatically_orient_selected_normals.html Once again, thank you both very much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
