Improved way to identify a surface number

Improved way to identify a surface number

Hi,

 

When you are trying to solve you may get an error message, like "Surface 235 cannot be meshed..." with a suggested way to clean that error, which most of the time consists in fixing geometry errors or specific geometric conditions that will prevent correct meshing (on Automeshing).

 

There is currently a known way to find the surface number reported, see:

and

 

https://knowledge.autodesk.com/community/screencast/3aeaae96-fec9-4a96-94f5-34f7a498d8b4

 

The only issue is when the surface patch is very small and there is a lot of geometry around.

 

I suggest to add first of all a "find surface" function, located in the same menu, that will highlight the surface and place it in the selection list. More so, there should be functions allowing you to zoom to, isolate, so this process can be a very simple task. (along the functionality of Sim Studio)

 

Thank you for considering this.

 

Regards,

Adrian

Sorry for the inconvenience, it seems that even the Autodesk support guys don't know about the whereabouts of the article.
I hope my request will get implemented...
Have a great day!
