This section gives an example of how to use the Solid Lab tab functionality to build valid solids.
Import the applicable layers into the Layers panel and group them into folders for easy presentationeasier navigation. Instructions on how to import and interact with layers see here.
...
2. In the Solid Operation Set panel click the blue plus icon to add a new operation set and name it "Pit1S1".
...
Add the previous operations results (#1 and #2) using Add Input button dropdown.
...
Add a new operation - Reduce Complexity.
Add output from operation #3, which is the result of intersecting solids #1 and #2.
In the Minimum Volume field specify the minimum volume, blocks smaller than which will be excluded. In this example, 10 000 cubic meters.
In the Maximum Error field, set the triangulation error limit to 0.5.
Pinch Tolerance lets you remove smaller volume areas (such as short edges and narrow regions) with thickness lass than the amount specified. Unless you have a specific problem you wish to address, leave the value by default.
Run the operation and review the result.
...
Add new operation - Create Solid From Polygons.
Draw a closed polygon around the solid.
Run the operation and export the resultant polygon to the Layers panel.
Add a new operation - Intersect Solids.
Using the up and down arrows, place the Create Solid From Polygons operation in front of it.
Add the outputs of operations #1, #2 and #3 to the Intersect Solids operation.
Run the operation and review the result. If all steps are done correctly, you should get a result like in the figure below - a solid with smoother boundaries, without extra remnant artefacts, fitting the outlined polygon.
