The Cleanup Wizard
Use the Cleanup Wizard (), shown in Figure 7-17, to manually step through each step in the cleanup process. It is possible to modify the detail size used by the process, to skip steps in the process, and to go back and forth between steps to see if the action made wanted changes to the geometry. It is also possible to mesh the geometry before and after a step in the process to check how the element quality is influenced.
