Find gaps.

You painted a region. You missed a few tris. They print as a different colour. One click finds them; one click fixes them.

// What it does

Scans the painted area for unpainted triangles surrounded by painted neighbours. Each gap gets a yellow dot in the viewport. Fix all repaints each gap with whichever colour dominates its immediate neighbours.

// When to use it
  • After any large brush stroke or Region pass — quick QA before export.
  • After Plane paint or Direction paint, where bulk operations sometimes miss a single odd-normal tri.
  • Before exporting a 3MF — gaps slice as printer-base colour, not what you intended.
// How to use it
  1. Check tab → Find gaps. Yellow dots appear on every missed tri.
  2. Fix all — each gap takes the dominant neighbour colour. Dots disappear.
  3. Ctrl+Z undoes the fix if you wanted to inspect manually.
// Tips
  • It only finds gaps — unpainted tris with painted neighbours. A wholly unpainted area looks like one big gap and is ignored.
  • Right-click → Find gaps (whole mesh) runs the same action without leaving your current tool.
