How to close a complex brep that is composed of mutiple surfaces

[scottd (Scott Davidson)]

Joining to a solid involves tolerance at the edges of the surfaces. If gaps are greater then tolerance, the two surfaces will not join.

The tolerance in this file is .001 of an inch. It could be any units, the tolerance value still is set. The gap between some of the surfaces is 2.2 and more. This can be checked by using Curve deviation to see the gaps.

Here are a couple articles that may help:

One of the discussion on the frum:

Why two surfaces can't join

Well, the main problem is inaccurate modeling. All of the areas which will not join are further than the file absolute tolerances from each other. It also seems like this is an odd size, too small to be in mm, to big to be in inch, maybe it’s supposed to be cm? Was this modeled all in Rhino or parts in something else? The only way I know to fix it will be to remodel some parts to make sure they fit together correctly, using proper object snaps etc… http://wiki.mcneel.com/rhino/faqtolerances …
