Cleaning up bad geometry
Now, the model should be watertight, but it is hardly clean and non-manifold.
Now is the time to locate, identify, and fix the non-manifold points:
1.
Clear the selected points (
A
).
2.
Select all non-manifold points (
Shift
+
Ctrl
+
Alt
+
M
).
Unfortunately in sealing the edges, non-manifold geometry was accidently
introduced into the model. All of the currently selected points represent a
problem in the model that should be fixed.
The first step is to remove any points that are occupying the exact same spot:
1.
Select all the points (
A
).
2.
Click on the
Remove Doubles
button in the left-side bar.
3.
When that is done clear the selection (
A
).
4.
Select the non-manifold points again (
Shift
+
Ctrl
+
Alt
+
M
).
