Hole Filling

 

In this mode, you can fill out all the holes inside the geometry.

 

The program will mark any voxels of holes found to be inside the surface of the geometry to be "holes".  When creating the shell, these voxels are considered filled, and no surface will be created around them, in effect removing any internal surfaces to the geometry.

 

Sometimes, a small holes in the surface connect the inside of the geometry to the outside.  The "Filing Radius" parameter can be used to close these small connection.
