I also can visually find gaps that show up as small surfaces but are clearly holes in the model but it shows as a single solid object and the check geometry finds 2 errors there is just no indication it&#8217;s a bad solid where both solidworks and mastercam find a bunch of gaps and errors. Is there an intentional push to call something a &#8220;workable&#8221; solid essentially instead of a &#8220;good&#8221; solid? or any generic rules on why a gap wouldn&#8217;t show up as a gap? I can literally line my mouse up and click on the hole and pick a surface on the other side of the model."},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Threads are generally overkill for CAD models, since all you need during manufacturing is the series information. I&#8217;d advise not to use threads at all. If they absolutely are dead set on that, maybe try increasing the Rendering Quality in SC Options > Popular.  That might adjust the gaps as well.  If you still have a ton of split edges, there&#8217;s not much to do there except try to repair them with the split edge tool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-170884","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-4422","topic-tag-ansys-spaceclaim-directmodeler","topic-tag-edit-group","topic-tag-general","topic-tag-geometry","topic-tag-preprocessing-geometry","topic-tag-structural-mechanics"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_wp_page_template":["default"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2\/6\/2023 20:20"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27789"],"_bbp_author_ip":["209.182.204.162"],"_btv_view_count":["166"],"siebel_km_number":["2048753"],"product_version":["18"],"km_published_date":["2017-03-20T00:00:00.000Z"],"family":["Structural Mechanics"],"application_name":["ANSYS SpaceClaim DirectModeler"]},"test":"articlesansys-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/170884","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/170884\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=170884"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
