# Resolve Non-Manifold

![Image: 044169.jpg](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/Resources/Images/044169.jpg)\
Examples of non-manifold geometry: only 1 point is located at each of the marked positions. At the bottom center there are 2 adjacent polygons with opposing Normals.

What is non-manifold geometry? Non-manifold geometry describes edges that share more than 2 polygons.

This type of geometry should be avoided since it can lead to a series of issues, e.g., for rendering or 3D printing, etc. **Resolve Non-Manifold** "repairs" these regions by evaluating the affected regions and creating separated polygons/points accordingly.
