Micro-block Removal

The term "micro-block" describes a relatively tiny, usually triangular block created when the Snap command connects surfaces that overlap by more than the "snap distance". Micro-blocks are difficult to locate, due to their size, and usually discovered by the existence of a block label with no apparent associated block.

CVTGMS's Remove micro-blocks function removes all triangular (3-point) blocks that are smaller than a user-defined threshold. Blocks with an area smaller than a specified percentage of the total "Full View" area will be removed from the model.

This function is only available for models that have already been "snapped". It may be used on existing GM‑SYS models.

To Remove a Micro-Block

On the Execute menu, select Remove Micro-blocks.
