Sometimes, during the modeling process, certain small distances could appear between extremities of linear elements that should be connected. These distances can appear also on models that were created using a different software and then imported in Advance Design.

How is it used the Auto Trim & Extend command for correcting small modeling errors

In order to correct those geometrical inconsistencies fast and precise, Advance Design offers the option "Auto Trim&Extend".

This command can be found in the "CAD Modifications" toolbar:

The distance between the extremities between the linear elements that should be connected, must not exceed the "Minimal distance between extremities". The minimal distance can be set from: "Options/Allpications.../Graitec BIM/Analytical model check/Minimal distance between extremities":

In order to use this option the user must first select the linear elements and then run the command.

The maximum distance available for this command is 1m. The elements extremities that are separated by more than 1m must be aligned manually.
