Description

Triangulate the chosen wireframe and attempt to produce consistent normals. If there are shared edges, the normals generated may not be correct.

The primary purpose of the Wireframe Verify function is to create manifold surfaces from the wireframe. In order to do this, Verify will look for the highest, non-vertical triangle in the selection, and alters its normal so that it is pointing ‘upwards’. It then looks at all adjacent triangles, and ensures that their normals are consistent with that face. The process then continues from these faces, until no more are unassigned, or adjacent triangles are found. If all triangles have been assigned, the process is complete, otherwise the Surface Number is incremented, and the process starts again with the highest, non-assigned, non-vertical triangle.
