Import Data Doctor - Where to Start?

Using Wildfire 4

I imported a STEP model into Pro/E and it did not form an enclosed volume. If I switch to wireframe mode, I see 1 yellow edge (all the rest of the wireframe edges are magenta). If I switch to shaded mode, the yellow edge is also visible and the surfaces on either side of the yellow edge are visible. If I zoom in, the yellow edge looks like 2 edges, and the second yellow edge doesn't appear to be connected to any surfaces. (screen shots attached)

I have gone through the Getting Started with Import Data Doctor tutorial, but I'm stumped how to fix this geometry. I started out with closing the gaps but the search tool doesn't find any, and I am unable to pick the yellow edges to manually define a gap. No idea where to proceed next.

Looks like you will have to move the vertices of one or both of the surfaces to get it to stitch up since the Auto did not. Seams like that one, transitioning to a point are pesky.


The IDD has the tools to do this. I do not have a model open, but look for move vertex, within the IDD tool.
