The Virtual Topology toolset allows you to ignore details, such as very small faces and edges, when you mesh a part or a part instance. The following topics are covered:

• “What is virtual topology?,” Section 71.1

• “What can I do with the Virtual Topology toolset?,” Section 71.2

• “What can I do with a part or a part instance containing virtual topology?,” Section 71.3

• “Why repair a part if I can use virtual topology?,” Section 71.4

• “Creating virtual topology based on geometric parameters,” Section 71.5

• “Using the Virtual Topology toolset,” Section 71.6
