Error Detection tool showing detected issues
Error Detection scans your model for geometry problems that could cause printing failures or visual artifacts.

When to use this

  • Before repair, to understand what’s wrong with your model
  • After repair, to verify all issues were resolved
  • When your model looks wrong or has unexpected gaps

What it detects

The panel opens with a Watertight status (Yes/No), then lists any issues grouped by severity. Before repair, issues are derived from your model’s analysis: After repair, the panel instead lists the issues returned by the repair.

Results

  • Total issue count shown as a badge next to the panel title
  • Grouped by severity — issues are listed under Critical, Warning, and Info headings, each with a count
  • Fixed / Not fixed status — after a repair, each issue shows whether it was resolved

Tips

  • Non-manifold edges are the most common issue — they mean surfaces don’t form a proper solid
  • Run this before repair to understand the scope of issues
  • After repair, the error count should be zero or near-zero
  • If errors persist after repair, try a different model type preset
