quilt not closed: analysis to find small

[jimhelberg]

I have a quilt made up of imported and created surfaces. I am trying to make a solid. Everything appears to be closed(no visible yellow lines) but when I try to solidify it is says there is a gap. How do I find the gap? Is there anyhting in analysis? There used to be something before wildfire, but I can not find it.


I have been zooming in and out for over an hour trying to find the gap. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Use an Offset Surface Feature
Select the Quilt you want to solidify and hit the Offset Icon to create an offset surface this will make it easy to show the gap because it will be enlarged. If you cant achieve a high offset value due to small Convex and Concave radii try Alternative method below.

Thanks, that does help find the gaps a little bit. I still had to look real close because the gap was so small.
