Any easy way to fix overlapping surfaces?


Any easy way to fix overlapping surfaces?
#1
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.

What about this new part I am working on? This is my first go at making something that is supposed to be rounded.

The main decorated face of the part has no overlap as I fixed the errors and I used the template for the 14769 part in the img4dat app, but as soon as I add the body of the part s\14769s01.dat and the 4-4ering.dat to round the outer edges those bring up overlap errors. So would those be allowed since there doesn't seem to be a good way to round the part otherwise?
