However, sometimes I found that after manually merging elements (on the curved surfaces, as the auto merge tool does not work that well), the new curved face may show some curvature that was not appeared in the original structure.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For example, the stretched cylinder below show extra curvature on the right side, while the stretch itself is symmetric and the imported stl file geometry also symmetric. But after I merge the faces on the right side, it shows extra curvature.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/06-12-2023-1701887659-mceclip1.png\" width=\"675\" height=\"577\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How can I fix or avoid it?&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank you!&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Eric&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-326738","reply","type-reply","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.10 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Hi Sampat,Thank you for suggestion!
