- [Presenter] One of the more powerful features
that you're going to want to leverage in the sketch toolbar
is going to be the Repair Sketch feature.
Now, the sketch I have here looks simple,
but it's actually a little bit more complicated.
So, I've got overlapping geometry
and somewhere in here I've also got gaps,
but it's not entirely obvious where they might be
just by selecting and clicking around.
This is a pretty simple example,
but sometimes you can have very large,
convoluted 2D geometries and it's really hard
to chase the chains or the loops
and see where breaks are.
And, at the end of the day, sometimes you just want to
have a nice closed contour.
So, now using the Repair Sketch feature,
what this is going to do is automatically take
any overlapping geometry and remove it.
And then it's going to find any gaps
in a potential closed contour
and bring your attention to where they are
and it's going to zoom into them so you can see
where each one is on the sketch.
So, in this example, I've got some overlapping lines here
and down here in the sketch,
so when I hit Repair Sketch those should go away.
Alright, so those have disappeared
and, now, what it's done is brought me to one of the gaps
that's smaller than the range that I gave it.
Now, I'm going to turn this up a little bit
to 0.01 and hit refresh.
And I've still only got this one gap,
so it's not picking up another gap
that I have over here that's also very small,
so you can see that it's not perfect.
But, it did zoom in right here to a gap
that I had between these two lines
and you should be able to cycle through, next and previous,
all of the various gaps that it has.
I believe in this scenario, it actually went ahead
and repaired the gap for me because it was so small
and it based on the range that I had put in there.
But, you can go ahead and do things like drag lines
and reconnect then.
Hit refresh and then you'll see
that there's no problems found.
Yeah, over here they connected the two lines together
for me automatically
because the gap was smaller than 0.002 inches.
So, that's how you use the Repair Sketch feature.
