Hi, I had been converting from edges to vertices instead of features. That did the trick. Thanks! Adam Updegrove Graduate Student Researcher Shadden Research Group Mech.

Hi,

the plugin mesh repair contains functions to select triangles or edges with given dihedral angles.

Afterwards use the selection plugin toolbox to convert the edge selection to a feature selection. The features will not be touched by the remesher.

Best, Jan Möbius

Hello,

I am trying to remesh a discrete surface (vtp) that has pretty bad triangles. I try to use the uniform remeshing tool, and it does a great job of creating a quality mesh with quality triangle.

The only problem is that the mesh doesn’t preserve the boundary edges; it smooths them out. I am meshing this object for CFD purposes, and I need to retain the boundary between two surfaces in order to identify them by the difference in normals, and apply boundary conditions to each surface.

Is this possible with Open Flipper?
