Tauricity,
I guess your flat surface is a rectangle (or at least I'd do it that way). When the first sign of the faces disappearing shows up, "re- draw" the rectangle exactly. This should heal the faces. Also, select all in your model and intersect the geometry "with model". This should stop the faces closed by the arcs behave oddly. If there are still some faces not having been intersected, you can trace some of their edges from endpoint to endpoint.
I hope this helps. Gai...

I have a flat surface that I'm drawing a bunch of arcs on. However, when I get to a certain point and close an area with an arc, the flat surface goes crazy and some triangular parts disappear, some are sort of there, sort of not. When I orbit the model, the surface shimmers in or out near the area.
But when I highlight the surface, it gets those tiny blue highlight dots all over, which says to me that the surface should be there.
I've re-done the design a half dozen times, thinking that my arcs weren't on the surface (coplanar?), being careful to make sure the little things says "on face". No luck.
The only cure is not to close the offending arc, but I kinda want to.
Sorry, that's the best I can describe it.
Thanks
