Repairing operations are used for adjustment and modification of created geometrical shapes. The are:
The operations Suppress faces, Close contour, Suppress internal wires, Suppress holes and Add point on edge are available only if you are using OCC viewer.
To apply repairing operations:
In the main menu select Repair submenu.

BSplineRestriction.RequiredDegree - required degree of the resultant BSplines BSplineRestriction.RequiredNbSegments - required maximum number of segments of resultant BSplines. |
6 |
SplitContinuity this operator is intended for splitting shapes to achieve continuities of curves and surfaces less than specified ones. SplitContinuity.Tolerance3d - 3D tolerance for correction of geometry. SplitContinuity.SurfaceContinuity - required continuity for surfaces. SplitContinuity.CurveContinuity - required continuity for curves. |
7 |
ToBezier - this operator is intended for conversion of the curves and surfaces of the all types into Bezier curves and surfaces. ToBezier.SurfaceMode - mode of conversion of the surfaces. ToBezier.Curve3dMode mode for conversion of the 3D curves. ToBezier.Curve2dMode mode for conversion of the 2D curves. ToBezier.MaxTolerance max possible tolerance on the resultant shape. |
8 |
FixShape this operator is intended for correction of the invalid shapes FixShape.Tolerance3d work tolerance for detection of the problems and correction of them. FixShape.MaxTolerance3d - maximal possible tolerance of the shape after correction. |
9 |
SameParameter this operator is intended for fixing edges having not same parameter 2D and 3D curves. SameParameter.Tolerance3d tolerance for detection and fix problems. |

TUI Command: geompy.SuppressFaces(Shape, ListOfID), where Shape is a shape to be processed, ListOfID is a list of faces ID's to be removed.
Arguments: Name + Faces which should be removed (you can select them in the 3D viewer).
Dialog Box:
Example:
Description : Closes an open contour and modifies the underlying face (if needed) in accordance with user specified mode:
By common vertex a vertex is created between the end points of the contour and its tolerance is increased to a value of the gap between the ends of the contour;
By new edge a new edge is inserted between the end points of the contour.
Result: GEOM_Object.
TUI Command: geompy.CloseContour(Shape, Wires, IsCommonVertex), where Shape is a shape to be processed, Wires is a list of edges or wires IDs which has to be closed within the shape (if the list contains only one element = -1, the shape itself is considered as a wire), IsCommonVertex if this parameter is True a closure has to be done by creation of a common vertex, otherwise an edge is added between the end vertices.
Arguments: Name + 1 shape + contour (Wire, or a set of Edges) + mode of closure (by vertex or by edge)
Dialog Box:
Example:
Description : Removes all internal wires or specified internal wires from user specified faces.
