The Geometry Analysis and Repair task of Intergraph Smart 3D allows you to analyze, check, and repair geometry data before using that data to create an imported plate system in the Molded Forms task. You can run the Geometry Analysis and Repair commands on data that will be used in "early design" activities as well as data that will be used to detail and manufacture the model.

This task is different from other Smart 3D tasks in that it does not create or save objects in the database. You should not refresh your workspace unless you want to clear the screen. The Workspace Explorer does not appear in this task, and there are no modify commands in this task.

You start the Geometry Analysis and Repair task by clicking Tasks > Geometry Analysis and Repair. The Geometry Analysis and Repair task has the following commands:

Select - Used to select objects. For more information, see Displaying Properties.

Process Geometry Data - Checks and repairs data. For more information, see Process Geometry Data.

Reference Curves - Creates reference curves. For more information, see Reference Curves.

Advanced Surface Operations - Performs operations on surfaces such as stitching, exploding, splitting, rebuilding, and merging data. For more information, see Advanced Surface Operations.

Advanced Curve Operations - Performs operations on curves such as splitting, merging, rebuilding, and exploding. For more information, see Advanced Curve Operations.

Transform Data - Scales, translates, rotates, and mirrors data. For more information, see Transform Data.

Compare Data - Compares surface data before and after correction to ensure that the differences are within acceptable tolerances of the original data. For more information, see Compare Data.

Import IGES - Imports 3D geometric data from a file in the IGES (Initial Graphics Exchange Standard) format. This command is on the File menu. For more information, see Import IGES (File Menu).

Import ACIS - Imports 3D geometric data from a file in the ACIS .sat format. This command is on the File menu. For more information, see Import ACIS (File Menu).

Export IGES - Exports 3D geometric data to a file in the IGES format. This command is on the File menu. For more information, see Export IGES (File Menu).

Export ACIS - Exports geometric data to a file in the ACIS .sat format. This command is on the File menu. For more information, see Export ACIS (File Menu).

Geometry Analysis and Repair Setup - Specifies settings for the Geometry Analysis and Repair task, including logging, display, and style options. This command is on the Tools menu. For more information, see Geometry Analysis and Repair Setup Command (Tools Menu).

Show Control Points - Displays the control points and the control point mesh for the selected data. This command is on the shortcut menu available when no command is active and you right-click a graphic object in this task. For more information, see Show Control Points.

Show Normals - Displays the surface normals for the selected data. This command is on the shortcut menu available when no command is active and you right-click a graphic object in this task. For more information, see Show Normals.

Show Vertices - Displays vertices for the selected data. A vertex is a point in three- dimensional space. This command is on the shortcut menu available when no command is active and you right-click a graphic object in this task. For more information, see Show Vertices.

Hide - Removes all control points, normals, and vertex data from the display. This command is on the shortcut menu available when no command is active and you right-click a graphic object in this task. For more information, see Hide.
