Repository source: FillHoles

Description

This filter finds holes in a mesh and closes them.

Seealso

IdentifyHoles fills the holes and then identifies each hole.

Download and Build FillHoles

Click here to download FillHoles and its CMakeLists.txt file. Once the tarball FillHoles.tar has been downloaded and extracted,

cd FillHoles/build

If VTK is installed:

cmake ..

If VTK is not installed but compiled on your system, you will need to specify the path to your VTK build:

cmake -DVTK_DIR:PATH=/home/me/vtk_build ..

Build the project:

make

and run it:

./FillHoles

WINDOWS USERS

Be sure to add the VTK bin directory to your path. This will resolve the VTK dll's at run time.
