plane-aware makes mesh worse...

Hey All,

I’ve got a mesh of a building that I’m trying to clean up the roof line using the plane-aware feature but I’m getting far worse results than before. I did see a suggestion article that mentions ensuring the planar normals are in the correct orientation and it shows screenshots of magenta arrows indicating the normal directions. I have not been able to get these arrows to appear and have no idea what else to try. Has anyone had much luck with this feature?

Dear Mike,

Thanks for your feedback.
You can toggle the option to display polygon normals by going under Settings/Display/Normals
If you need to flip one of the polygon normals, you can right click on the Polygon and select “Flip polygon normal”, it’s important they are pointing “outwards”. I hope this solve your issue. If you need more assistance please feel free to reach out either here or through our support.

Regards,

Greg

Hey Greg,

I have the normals switch turned on in the settings and have attempted to flip the normals a number of times but still haven’t seen any arrows to indicate that there are facing one direction or the other. If there are any other suggestions or ideas as to why the mesh got significantly worse while using this feature, I’m all ears!

Thanks,
Mike

We also tried that function already, and it worked well. The arrows can be very small when the orthoplane is huge, for example a faccade. Have you tested another porject or another (maybe smaller) orthoplane?
