[ICEM] Periodic Vertices don't result in Periodic Face

MangoNrFive · March 19, 2018, 14:51

Hello,

i have the following problem, as illustrated in the picture below.
The vertices highlighted by the yellow circles are periodic, as you can see by the adjacent periodic faces and the red arrows. The face between them should thus be periodic aswell, but this isn't the case.

I have a suspicion but can't get behind how i can fix the issue. After i was done spliting the blocks i encountered two vertices where there should only be one. Foulishly i just merged the vertices and carried on. Maybe that's the reason for the weird behaviour, i can't get back to that state anymore though.

Does anyone have a suggestion how to resolve this issue?

Thank you and Greetings
Philipp

I removed the middle blocks, and defined them again as create block from vertices and now the faces are periodic as they should be.
