wrapper seed point error

sazrul · May 3, 2016, 23:38

Hi experts,

I am doing the surface wrapper to repair my geometry. However, I have encountered this error message "The wrapper seed point=(-1.06736 0 0.416267) is not in the bounding box of the surface. Try moving it closer to the surface".

What does this bounding box mean? Have anyone facing this error before? Any suggestion to solve it?

Thank you.

This means your seed point lies outside of your geometry. This doesn't make any sense for wrapping with a seed point - you must have an internal domain for that to work.

The bounding box of the geometry is the box that would exist if you put a giant box around your geometry such that the boxes sides barely touch the geometry.
