Using Modeling commands to repair geometry

For many models, you can use the Pre/Post abstraction and idealization commands to modify geometry.

Sometimes, however, you need the tools available in Modeling. For example:

• The abstraction tools are not intended for creating complex geometry features. For example, if your geometry is missing complicated faces after importing external CAD geometry from STEP or IGES, you can use the Modeling tools to recreate them.

• When you use abstraction commands, modifications are not retained in the model history. CAD features and repairs are history-supported when you use modeling commands.

Free-form modeling is commonly used to repair geometry problems. Free-form modeling uses 3D curve and surface creation to create shapes that are difficult to build using standard features.
