    How do you make a shape with breaks continuous?

    I've got a few pieces of semi bad geometry from importing etc and I can see tiny breaks in them. How do I get rid of that and make a shape continuous?

    thanks!

    You can extend the gaps to intersections, use line-join to fill in the gaps, or add fillets, chamfers, etc. There are many different methods. Test the continuity by selecting with the shift key - where the selection stops you have a gap.

    Lightbulb non-touching entities

    If you have lots of non touching entities, depending on the gap ,you can increase the value of -Chain select-under
    Tolerance/System/Setting default /Preferences.
