selected elements in the 3D view panel. One selected the hole to fill, it’s possible to proceed clicking on
the Fill button. The combo-box Curvature filling allows choosing between a filling method that follows
the curvature of the object or a planar filling. The triangles added in this operation will be marked as
selected, therefore will be red. It’s possible to cancel the last operation (Ctrl+Z to cancel,Ctrl+Y to
re-apply) were the resulting filling to be unsatisfactory..

The filling operation may fail if the hole to fill is either too big, or too complex to handle: in such
a case, the tool won’t generate any filling surface or, in case a partial filling is involved, it may not
perform the curvature fill even though the user requested it. It is possible to bypass such problem by
sectioning the hole into simpler parts, through the option Fill partially.
• Approximate selection with a plane : allows adapting a plane which passes through the area
currently selected on the mesh;
