You don’t necessarily need a mesh to test for this. If an assembly of volumes contains any surfaces that overlap, that normally indicates that you have a non-contiguous set of volumes. (something didn’t imprint and merge correctly.) To check for this you can use the following to find overlapping surface pairs: Find [Surface] Overlap [{Body|Surface|Volume} ] It’ll report back overlapping surface pairs. You probably want to do this check BEFORE you actually mesh. Here’s an example: reset brick x 1 brick x 0.5 vol 2 move y 0.
