I have a scanned model of a casting. It was necessary to delete surfaces to remove the casting flash from the model.
I have lofted/patched/stitched the missing surfaces to close the solid. Apparently there is a gap somewhere because the model remains as a surface instead of returning to a solid.
HOW CAN MISSING SURFACES BE FOUND IN THE MODEL?
WHAT ELSE CAN PREVENT THE MODEL FROM RETURNING TO A SOLID?
When stitching, the gap tolerance was set to .002". The model will "rebuild" without any error messages.

Solved by JDMather. Go to Solution.
Can you zip and attach the file here?
If you go to the Construction Environment (or I assume the Repair Environment) Inventor can show you where the gaps are.
Thanks for the information. A quick review indicates this will do what I need. I will try it out.
Thanks again.
