Filtering on geometry

Sometimes, you can experience strange rendering like clouds of points, floating lines, free surfaces …

This can sometimes happen when importing curves from a CAD model or when using free planes (i.e. simulate surfacing or multi-layers) , etc.

Rendering can be improved using filters.

You can use filters to select a given geometry (curve, face …), hide all matching objects and then continue publishing the model.

Filtering can be refined in many different ways : refer to help for details.
