Use a different extension to collaborate About Importing Files from other CAD Systemsįrom version 2021 there is a link between Revit and Inventor data with An圜AD for seamless interoperability. Autodesk does not recommend the use of one over another, nor guarantee their successful operation.
Is this add on what I need and how do I get it for trial so I can. Basically I have a number of parts that have no volume or geometry and I want to make them so they are solids for 3d printing. These 3rd party converters can be found on the Internet. I found out that mesh enabler add on might solve a no geometry problem. Then import it into Inventor as a surface, stitch it, and convert it to solid, or work with the imported surfaces.
Use 3rd party converters There are also 3rd party products that you can use to convert the STL file to a different format.
How to import an STL mesh and convert it into editable geometry in Autodesk Inventor (surface or solid). The obtained model is a 3D mesh, which cannot be edited in Inventor or converted to workable objects. Evan, What I did is when you go to open your. STL files can be imported into Inventor using the Open command. Keep in mind I believe it keeps as a default when you change that and you may have to go back and return it to whatever units you normally save in. stl was open, I click on the part, then right click, select Convert to Base Feature, I selected output to solid, OK and it was done and worked correctly.Įvan, What I did is when you go to open your. stl came in fine and matched what the customer had. So it sees the 12 as the value and the import doesn't know or care what it is but as soon as I changed my import option to mm the. The customer exported in mm and I imported in inch. if you add another poser pack some time later, you gotta use PoserDataGen to generate poser data for that pack and add the generated files to the overwrite files that we turned into mods. I opened a customer model and it looked correct until I made a measurement and it was 12" the real measurement was 0.473 or 12mm. stl file (inch or mm) when opening the file and change it in your options to match before opening it to keep it at the correct values. Make sure you know what your units are of the.
This next comment doesn't really have anything to do with how the Mesh Enabler works other than how you import then use the Enabler: Seems to work fine now after Rocky fixed it up.
