Description

An error was encountered while inspecting the specified object. A gap exists between the edge of the object and the boundary. This can cause problems in the Structural Detailing task.

Possible Cause

The object is using infinite geometry as a boundary.

The free edge gap can be caused by one of two situations:

  • Unbounded geometry is used for the plate bounding. For example, create a plate bounded by 3 reference planes (red) and 1 planar plate (green). Because of the infinite geometry of the bounding plate is used, the plate is created successfully in Molded Forms. But the plate will fail in detailing because there is a gap in the trim boundary caused by the bounding plate.

  • Incomplete trim boundary due to the plate thickened geometry. In Molded Forms, the boundary is complete, but in detailing, there is a small gap along the thicken direction. In most cases, the gap is very small.

What You Should Do

Check and update the object boundaries.
