Troubleshooting (Base 3.0)

Smart Convert still leaves triangles

This can be intentional. A 70-90% hard-surface result can be reported as usable mixed topology when the remaining pairs would create worse quads. Enable Select Remaining Triangles and inspect the residual areas before forcing more conversion.

Smart Convert reports a partial conversion

• Below 70% quad coverage, inspect non-manifold areas and triangle hotspots.
• Run the Mesh Health check and Repair Safe Issues.
• For dense organic/scan/generated geometry that needs new topology, use Premium Production Rebuild instead of repeatedly increasing the merge angle.

Reduction complains about shape keys

Use Base 3.0.0 or newer. Current Base protects the original keyed mesh in a full backup before topology-changing reduction. Older shape-key snapshot behavior is no longer used.

Quadriflow is blocked

Base blocks Quadriflow above 100,000 input faces. Reduce the mesh first or use a higher-tier reconstruction workflow.

Live overlay disappears on a dense mesh

This is expected above 150,000 faces. The overlay is suppressed to keep the viewport responsive.

Health numbers look stale

Base 3.0 binds health results to the exact object/topology. Re-run Health Check after changing the mesh. If you upgraded in-place from an older build and still see stale UI state, disable the old extension, restart Blender once, then install the current package.
