Hello all,

Using the slicerect tool, I have sliced a mesh, and then hidden part of the slice.
As you can see below I am left with a gaping hole in the mesh. Is there a way to fill this in, so the surface follows the slice and does not leave a gaping hole?

thanks in advance!

Tool > Geometry > Modify Topology > Close Holes.
Or
Set the model in Dynamesh-Modus.

ahah! Close holes!!! I knew I’d seen something that could do this. I thought in previous versions the slice tool could do this automatically, but the closed holes will do nicely. :slight_smile:

Or you close your holes with ZModeler. But that’s more work, if you Model has many polygons and a big hole/holes.
You have then to close poly by poly (edge by Edge, so to speak):

RightClick on an Edge > Close > Concave Hole (then: on click to only one edge. Finish! But with this version you receive triangles as closed, new Polys!)

Or with other-(Better solution):
RightClick on an Edge: Bridge > Edges (then: once click to an Edge and then to the other Edge). This give you clean new, closed polys.
