Build – Fill Holes – Auto
Filling Holes Automatically
This command is to create polygon data automatically for the holes (i.e. areas where no data is present) locat-
ed in the area selected in the currently displayed element. However, some complicated holes may not be filled.
 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 [Auto].
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.
All the element view windows will be hidden, 
and the temporary window and [Build-Fill 
Holes-Auto] dialog box will appear.
•  The hole for which you want to create polygon 
data will be displayed in the temporary window. 
The points comprising the hole will be highlight-
ed (yellow). The selected holes will be processed 
one by one, starting with the hole composed of 
the largest number of points.

If the number of remaining holes (Number of holes) is 
1, the [OK] button will be displayed instead of the [Next 
Hole] button.
Note
It is not possible to close the temporary window.
4
  Set the [Flatness] and [Algorithm] pa-
rameters, and click the [Apply] button.
The program merges the elements to create 
a new element. The new element is given the 
name that you just entered.
A progress bar shows the progress while 
the fill is being carried out. If you click the 
progress bar’s [Cancel] button, the program 
suspends fill processing and displays a dialog 
showing results up to that moment.

The program retains the fill data generated up to the time 
when you clicked the [Cancel] button. If you wish to 
resume the fill operation, click the [All] button. Filling 
will then continue from the hole at which the operation 
was suspended.
