Modify Create Face

Modify Create Face attempts to build a new face region from your current selection.

Inputs It Understands

The tool can derive a polygon from either:

• selected points, or
• selected edges.

Point-driven creation is preferred when at least three suitable points are selected. If that cannot form a usable polygon, MeshTools falls back to edge-driven ordering when possible.

When the edge selection contains multiple disconnected closed loops, MeshTools creates a separate filled region for each valid loop. If one selected loop sits inside another, MeshTools treats the inner loop as a hole and leaves that region unfilled.

Practical Guidance

For the best results:

• select a clean perimeter,
• avoid ambiguous crossing boundaries,
• use points when you need exact control,
• use edges when the perimeter already exists in the mesh.

What Happens On Success

• MeshTools triangulates the ordered boundary.
• New triangles are appended to the mesh.
• The newly created faces become the new selection.
• The operation is recorded in history.

What Happens On Failure

If the selection cannot define a valid polygon, the operation is skipped and the console reports that the selected geometry could not form a face.
