Build – Fill Holes – Manual
Filling Holes Manually
This command is to create polygon data using the mouse for the holes (i.e. areas where no data is present) 
located in the area selected in the currently displayed element.
Left
: Designates a point.
Middle ([Shift] + Left) : –
Right 
: Cancels designation.
Operating Procedure
1
From the element list, select one desired
element.
2
Select the points on the boundary of
the hole for which you want to create 
polygon data.
3
From the [Build] menu, select [Fill
Holes] and then click [Manual].
The system will search for holes present within 
the area of the selected points. A bar will be 
displayed during search to indicate progress. If 
a hole is found, only the points on its boundary 
will be selected.
• If no holes are found, a message dialog box will
appear. Clicking the [OK] button will close the 
dialog box and exit the menu.
4
Among the selected points, click the
three nodes of a triangular polygon 
with the left mouse button, one by one 
in a counter-clockwise direction (when 
viewed from the front of the polygon).
When the node is clicked, a white rubber band 
will appear between that node and the mouse 
pointer.
When all the three nodes are clicked, a poly-
gon composed of those three nodes will be 
formed.
• Selection of the points which are no longer on the
boundary of the hole due to the created polygon 
will be canceled.
• To cancel designation of the points or created
polygon, click the right mouse button. By clicking 
the right button repeatedly, it is possible to return 
to the state in effect before this command was 
selected.
Note
• It is not possible to designate nodes if they have not
been selected.
• It is not possible to designate nodes of a triangle fac-
ing opposite the adjacent polygons.
• While a rubber band is displayed, it is not possible to
switch	the	view	and	designate	a	point	or	change	the	
window	size.

When the hole is filled, click the [ESC]
key.
Selection state of points will remain and
Build
– Fill Holes – Manual mode will be canceled.
