To Remove Chains of One-Sided Edges Using the Close Tool
1. Select a chain of one-sided edges that forms an inner contour within a quilt. Edges of the contour may belong to the inner loop of a single surface, many surfaces of a single component or surfaces in any combination of sub-nodes of a Combine node branch.
2. Click Heal > Close. The IDD Close Tool tab opens.
The one-sided edges that you selected are added to the collector in the References tab.
3. If required, click References on the IDD Close Tool tab and click Details beside the collector in References. The Chain dialog box opens. You can modify chain types and references, or append or exclude items from the chain using the Chain dialog box.
4. If required, you can also remove items from the collector in References. To remove an item, select the item in the collector, right-click, and click Remove.
5. If required, click Options on the IDD Close Tool tab to view the additional configurations. Click Next and Previous to view the next possible configuration or the previous configuration, respectively.
A preview of the import feature when the contour that is outlined by the one-sided edges is removed is displayed in the graphics window.
6. Click on the IDD Close Tool tab. If the contour is an inner boundary loop of a single surface, IDD simply removes the contour. If the contour is defined by edges of multiple surfaces, it extends, intersects, and trims these surfaces to fill in the void defined by the contour. Two-sided edges are created at the new surface boundaries.
