<div dir="ltr">Thanks for the responses. Here's what I have so far:<div><br></div><div>1) The solution I mentioned.</div><div>2) Retracing part of the shape.</div><div>3) Show hidden geometry and remove lines that are cutting across your work area.</div>
<div>4) Make sure the host object isn't a group.</div><div><br></div><div>That helps most situations. </div><div><br></div><div>There's still this thing that comes up if it's just a line. This isn't a very big problem. But if you want to replicate it, make a square, then draw a line on it that doesn't meet the edges. It wont "sink".</div>

ego a ssimilar problem with Autocad! (the advantage of being a
senior) it was a 2D model but they would provide a 3D perpective and
the problem would be visible. Now all 3D software use TO GEOMETRY. That is
the part side who comes to glue at the existing surface inverse-mirror the existing face. You
must have that? On your software. Michel Moschos</div>

I have a surface on which I draw a small shape. I expect the shape to be a part of the surface. So if I triple click the surface the shape gets selected. Occasionally I wind up with a shape on a surface that has not joined the surface. Sometimes I can make it join the surface by drawing a line from the shape to an edge of the surface then deleting this line. Sometimes not.<div>
