Any easy way to fix overlapping surfaces? - Peter Grass - 2025-09-30
I was trying img4dat to create a decorated part and it looks decent but when I load it into ldpart editor and use the overlapping checking tool there are 525 overlapping surfaces.
So my questions are:
A) Is there an easy way to fix them?
B) Is there a way to stop them being generated in the first place in img4dat ?
I've attached the dat I was working on which is for part 3069pb1332

Try rounding to 4 decimals before running the overlap checking tool.

OK thanks that brings it down to 21 overlapping surfaces which I deleted and redrew which means no more errors.

Good. You can also try the unificator tool after rounding. That might save you a few more surfaces.
