Abstract
A mesh repair application within a rendering engine is configured to generate a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows an end-user of the rendering engine to inspect and repair various defects associated with a three-dimensional (3D) model. The GUI provides a filmstrip that includes different visual representations of the various defects. When the end-user selects a given representation, the mesh repair application updates the GUI to display a detailed view of the defect associated with the selected visual representation. An advantage of the approach described herein is that the repair of defects associated with the 3D model may be expedited.
