+Making an existing mesh manifold with Blender
|
|
|
|
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

|
|
+If you have an existing mesh that is not already manifold, you can make it
|
|
|
|
+manifold using Blender.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+In Blender, install and enable the
|
|
|
|
+`3D Print Toolbox <https://extensions.blender.org/add-ons/print3d-toolbox/>`_
|
|
|
|
+addon.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+Select the mesh you want to make manifold. Open the sidebar by clicking on the arrow:

|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+.. image:: img/csg_manifold_step_1.webp
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+In the **3D Print** tab, under **Clean Up**, click the **Make Manifold** button:
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+.. image:: img/csg_manifold_step_2.webp
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+The mesh should now be manifold, and can be used as a custom mesh.
