• Geometry—Checks for faces or elements being
assigned to more than one selection.
•
Both—(T he default.) Checks for b oth material
ID and sub-object overlap.
Che ck—Click to r un the check.
Select Faces—When on, if running the selection
check detects “bad” selections, the “bad” faces are
selected by the Projection modifier automatically.
When off, “bad” selections are not selected
automatically. Default=on.
Results group
After you click Check, the fields in this group
display the results. The first field is for material
IDs, and the second is for sub-object selec tions.
If there is no conflict, the first field says “No
conflicting Mat IDs detected,” and the second says
“No conflicting face selections detected.” If there
is a conflict, the results say something such as, “6
Mat IDs are assigned to more than one select ion.”
