Repair

Repair opens Rhino’s Mesh Repair panel — the step-by-step alternative to Automatic Repair, for when you want to see each problem and decide how to fix it.

The workflow the panel walks you through:

1. Select a mesh and click Check Mesh — a detailed report appears, including an edge analysis view.
2. Review the problems found and click Repair to fix them.
3. Click Next for the advanced repair tools, make any final edits, and click Finish.

What it detects and fixes

• Degenerate faces — faces with all vertices at the same location.
• Zero-length edges — edges whose vertices overlap.
• Duplicate faces — overlapping faces.
• Non-manifold edges — faces joined by edges shared more than twice.
• Inconsistent normals — reversed face normals.
• Disjoint pieces — unconnected parts inside one mesh.

Advanced repair tools

For hand-finishing after the automatic fixes: align vertices, match edges, delete faces, patch a single face, fill one hole or all holes, split and swap edges, rebuild the mesh with uniform topology, and unify normals — with Undo available at every step.
