Recommended test
Clean a copied solid and compare it with the source to distinguish display cleanup from shape change.
- Create a custom solid with a few sketch lines and at least one guide, then copy it.
- On the copy, run Clean display edges and compare its silhouette with the source.
- Run Clean construction lines only after confirming the solid no longer needs those helpers.
- Measure both solids and confirm their intended physical dimensions still match.
Clean display edges
Generated or edited geometry can contain redundant visible edge segments. Clean display edges suppresses unnecessary linework for a clearer model. It is intended as display cleanup, not a Boolean or dimensional geometry operation.
Clean construction lines
Construction cleanup removes sketch lines and guides used during editing. Run it only after the solid and any mirrored or offset relationships are verified. Removing helpers can make later reconstruction harder even when the finished solid remains intact.
Check before and after
Copy the object before learning cleanup. Compare silhouette, face count appearance, measurements and selection behavior. Toggle global object edges to distinguish a cleaned object’s own display from the viewport-wide edge setting.
Keep useful references
A centerline or alignment guide may still be useful for placement even after the solid looks finished. Delete only what no longer communicates intent. Save a milestone first when construction geometry would be time-consuming to recreate.
