Deleting an extra edge
The previous screenshot is zoomed in on one such place. The darker grey areas
indicate that there are multiple surfaces overlapping each other in that area, two
faces on top of each other. There is some edge on the border of three faces, which is
one of the checks for non-manifold. The best thing to do is identify the extra edge
and delete it. In this case, it is fairly simple to guess:
1.
Select (
right-click
) the vertex on the left of the dark area.
2.
Additionally, select (
Shift
+
right-click
) the vertex on the right.
3.
These two points should not be connected by an edge since they would be
going through the point in the middle. However, the red line connects them
clearly, so this is the errant edge.

Delete
(

) that edge between these two points.
